The Los Angeles Angels are still in the AL Wild Card race, which is significant for a club that hasn’t made the playoffs since 2014. However, they’ve had to stay afloat without manager Ron Washington since he stepped away with a medical issue before Saturday’s game against the Houston Astros.<\/p>\n

“The Angels won\u2019t say specifically what Ron Washington\u2019s medical issue is, but Perry Minasian said he talked to him three times today and the health news is ‘fortunate,'” he reported. “Washington knows what he needs to do to get healthy.”<\/p>\n

Right-handed pitcher Jose Soriano (5-5, 3.39 ERA) will pitch for Los Angeles against Washington right-hander Jake Irvin (6-3, 4.18 ERA) on Friday night.<\/p>\n

After this series, the Angels will hit the road to take on the Atlanta Braves and Toronto Blue Jays before hosting the Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks.<\/p>\n
