Angels -Manager Ron Washington Will be an indefinite time with a health issue, general manager Perry Minasian told reporters on Friday.

Minasian said Washington, 73, will still be in the team, but will not be in the Dugout because he addresses the unknown health issue.

The angels did not specify what symptoms were experiencing Washington, but said the driver was able to address the team with Minasian on Friday before the 3-2 loss of 3-2 against the Astros, and allegedly watched the match of the GM’s Angel Stadium suite.

Washington was not made available to the media.

“Wash has not felt good for the last few days,” Minasian said before the loss. “We want to make sure he is 100% before he is back in the Dugout and Management. How long it’s going to take, I don’t know. I don’t expect it to be too long.

“We all know how important it is to all of us, but health is more important than anything, and personally, I don’t let him back in the dugout before I know he’s 100% OK. I love the man too much. ‘

Angels Bench coach Ray Montgomery now the interim manager of the team, served his first match in the new role in Friday night’s loss.

Washington, who has the management of the Angels in his second season, led the team to a record of 36-38 before Friday’s loss.

“He wants to do it – I don’t know if he ever missed a game – but at the end of the day you have to make difficult decisions,” Minasian said. “For me, I want to make sure that the man is absolutely healthy, and physically he is in the right place before we put him back in the dugout.

“We play some close games. These are not the types of games you can put back, kick your feet and just look. It’s a good game, stressful games, and I want to make sure he’s good at going health -wise before coming back into the Dugout. “

At the beginning of this season, Washington launched a new workout for his team after their opening day loss against the Orioles, which was well received by his players.

“I think it’s great that every thing that was done so far” has left angels the field worker Taylor Ward told MLB.com in April. “I love it. And maybe that’s just what we need. ‘

Washington explained How he held a full team workout on what was originally a down, saying that it is good to let the blood flow and stay on track spiritually.

“I think it was important because I don’t want them to be trapped in the fact that we don’t play baseball as we are able to play baseball,” Washington said. “I don’t want them to come inside themselves.

“I want them to be free and I want them to know that if we keep coming here and that things will take care of himself. That was the point. ‘

Washington also recently said he believes the angels will be on an upward path compared to last season, where his team ended with a record of 63-99.

“We’re going to be on that track,” Washington said. “We don’t think, we’ll be it. But we must stay in the process, we must work, we must learn, we must apply. This is what the baseball game is about: work, learning and applying. And we’re going to do that. ‘
