ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles Angels catcher Chris Iannetta will be out six to eight weeks because of an injury to his right wrist.
Without specifying the exact injury, the Angels announced Thursday that Iannetta will undergo surgery Friday.
Iannetta has been playing with the injury since getting hit by a pitch during his first at-bat May 2. He stayed in the game and caught Jered Weaver’s no-hitter against Minnesota.
Before his injury, Iannetta had been a solid addition to the Angels’ lineup since arriving in an offseason trade with Colorado.
