Veteran MLB Coach Ron Washington Steps Away Due To Health Concerns

Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington is stepping away from the team indefinitely due to a health concern, the club confirmed Friday. 

The 73-year-old veteran will not be in the dugout for the foreseeable future, handing managerial duties over to bench coach Ray Montgomery, CBS Sports reported.

Washington is expected to be present at Friday night’s game against the Houston Astros. However, he will observe from a suite alongside general manager Perry Minasian rather than from the field.
