Angels Notes: All-Star Breaks Hand, Ron Washington Talks Retirement, Major Trade Updates

The Los Angeles Angels beat the Athletics, 2-1, on Tuesday thanks to a walk-off Nolan Schanuel single in the 10th inning. Schanuel's first career walk-off and a career-high 12 strikeouts from Jose Soriano helped the Halos get closer to .500 as they improved to 32-34 on the year.

Unfortunately, All-Star Chris Taylor broke his hand the night prior and has landed on the injured list. The veteran was hitting .313 with a 1.109 OPS in his last five games.

Additionally, manager Ron Washington recently opened up on the idea of retirement. He is currently managing on the final year of his two-year contract, but revealed the timeline of when he will retire from the game.

Finally, there are a few trade deadline updates as the Angels are seen as a team with tons of assets for the league's top contenders. The trade ideas are plenty, but should a deal present itself, an Angels team in need of a revamped farm system might have to pull the trigger.
