Following the 1990 season, in which he hit .304 with 89 RBI in 146 games, Trammell suffered a long string of injuries that reduced his production over his final years.
In 1991, knee and ankle injuries limited Trammell to 101 games.
During the following season, he played in 29 games before breaking his right ankle and missing the remainder of the 1992 season.
He hit .329 in a resurgent 1993 season, but was ineligible to be ranked among the AL batting leaders because he only had 447 plate appearances.
In his final five seasons, Trammell averaged 76 games played after averaging 140 games played the first 13 seasons of his career.
 From 1993 to 1996, Trammell saw less time at shortstop in favor of Travis Fryman and eventually Chris Gomez and Andújar Cedeño.
 He instead saw playing time at multiple defensive positions, including shortstop, third base, second base, left field, center field, and designated hitter.
 Trammell retired following the 1996 season.

In his 20-year career, Trammell batted over .300 seven times, ending with a career average of .285 and 185 home runs with 1,003 RBI, 1,231 runs, 2,365 hits, 412 doubles, 55 triples, 236 stolen bases and 850 walks in 2,293 games.
He compiled a .977 fielding percentage at shortstop, his primary position.
After his retirement, Trammell coached for Detroit (1999, hitting coach), the San Diego Padres (2000–2002, first base coach), and managed the Tigers (2003–2005).
He served as the bench coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks under former teammate Kirk Gibson until returning to the Tigers in late 2014 as a special assistant to the general manager.
