Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington will be out indefinitely because of a health concern, according to general manager Perry Minasian, who told reporters on Friday, June 20.
Washington, who is 73 years old, is still expected to remain with the team but not in the dugout during games. He is expected to watch the game from a suite. Washington has been with the team since 2023.
The reason for the health concern was not disclosed.
Bench coach Ray Montgomery will serve as the interim manager for the Angels’ game against the Houston Astros and for the remainder of Washington’s absence.
The Angels entered Friday’s game with a 36-38 record.
