"Washington revealed to the Halos beat that he underwent quadruple bypass surgery to remove blockages from his heart valves roughly two months ago (via Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com and Sam Blum of The Athletic). The situation came together quickly, as Washington revealed he first sought medical attention after noticing swelling around his ankles while the Angels were playing in the Bronx from June 16-19. Washington said the scary situation has spurred him to quit smoking and improve his diet and sleeping habits."
"The baseball lifer said he expects to be fully cleared medically in December. He was unequivocal about his desire to return to managing in 2026. Washington said it's his goal "to finish what we started" with the Angels (relayed by Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register)."
"Bench coach Ray Montgomery will remain the interim manager for the rest of this year. The Angels have dropped a season-high eight games below .500 entering tonight's series in Texas. MLBTR sends our continued well wishes to Wash as he completes his recovery."
Ron Washington, 73, underwent quadruple bypass surgery roughly two months after noticing ankle swelling during the Angels' mid-June road trip in the Bronx. He has quit smoking and changed his diet and sleep habits as part of recovery. Washington expects to be fully cleared medically in December and intends to return to managing in 2026, saying his goal is to finish what was started with the Angels. The team has not commented on his contract; Washington signed a two-year deal entering 2024 and the club holds an option for 2026. Bench coach Ray Montgomery will continue as interim manager this season.
