Ianetta out 6-8 weeks

Chris Iannetta will undergo surgery on his right wrist Friday and is expected to miss 6-8 weeks.
Iannetta suffered the injury when he was hit on the wrist by a pitch on May 2, the same night he caught Jered Weaver's no-hitter. It's a tough blow for the Angels, who will now be without their primary catcher until late June or early July. Hank Conger is currently on the minor league disabled list, so Robinson Diaz or John Hester will likely be called up from Triple-A Salt Lake to split playing time with Bobby Wilson.

Big blow to the Angels who really don't need it right now. He hasn't really been lighting it up at the plate with just 3 HR, 9 RBI and a .706 OPS but he has been good behind the dish. I'm not sure how Long Conger will be out but hopefully not long for the Angels sake.

3 HRs is more than I expected through a month and a third going from COL to LAA. Tough loss offensively, even with his low OPS, because Wilson and Diaz/Hester certainly shouldn't be that high.

It's alright. The Angels have Pujols and Vernon Wells.

Scioscia wishes he had kept that grinder Jeff Mathis.

They should start Mike Napoli.






Oh, whoops.

Mike Napoli is no franchise player like Vernon Wells is.
