HOUSTON – Lost amid some of the higher profile players the Angels have lost to the disabled list, Geovany Soto’s absence has also been felt.
Soto, who had knee surgery, was hitting .283 and basically splitting the job with Carlos Perez. Since Soto has been out, he’s left Carlos Perez, who is hitting .188, to handle almost all of the catching duties.
“Geovany was having a terrific season,” Manager Mike Scioscia said. “He’s really important to some of the pitchers that he was working with for us. We’re definitely looking forward to getting him back when he’s ready to go.
