Angels Manager Ron Washington’s Sudden Medical Absence Sparks Questions and Concerns Ahead of Playoffs
Man, this one hits hard. Ron Washington, the seasoned skipper of the Los Angeles Angels, has been sidelined for the remainder of the season due to some undisclosed health concerns, the club announced just this past Friday. Washington, standing tall as the oldest manager in the majors at 73, has already been out of action for about a week now. He started feeling unusually short of breath and visibly drained toward the tail end of the Angels’ recent grind at Yankee Stadium, wrapping up that tough four-game stretch on June 19. Without missing a beat, Washington returned to Southern California for a battery of tests before being officially placed on medical leave. That’s a tough pill for any organization to swallow, especially with a veteran presence like his suddenly out of the dugout.
