A week after he stepped away from managerial duties indefinitely, the Angels announced Friday that manager Ron Washington will remain on medical leave for the rest of the season.
General manager Perry Minasian said last week that Washington, 73, had been feeling unwell for a few days — experiencing shortness of breath and fatigue at the New York Yankees series in New York from June 16-19.
“The fortunate part is he knows what he needs to do, and from a health standpoint, he knows how to get better,” said Minasian, who noted that he spoke to Washington three times on Friday.
