The Angels placed right-hander Ty Buttrey on the restrictive list on Friday after he did not report to the team’s alternate site.
Angels reliever Ty Buttrey is taking a break from baseball.
Manager Joe Maddon was unaware of the circumstances and Buttrey’s decision for stepping away from baseball for the time being. He is also unsure if or when Buttrey will return, but hopes to speak with him soon.
“There’s a lot of times when you get that age you become confused by different things, and you choose different routes, and maybe something’s more important to him right now,” Maddon said.
