Angels manager Ron Washington (health) out for rest of season
June 27 - Ron Washington will not manage the Los Angeles Angels for the rest of the season due to a health concern, the team announced Friday.
Bench coach Ray Montgomery will act as interim manager. Ryan Goins was promoted to the team's bench coach.
Washington, 73, experienced shortness of breath and heavy fatigue while the Angels were playing a four-game road series against the New York Yankees last week. He returned to Los Angeles and underwent tests on June 20 but the team didn't elaborate on the details or results.
Washington reportedly discussed his situation with players and coaches prior to leaving New York but has not spoken to reporters. He has not been in the dugout but has been around the team, according to general manager Perry Minasian, who said last Friday his main concern is for Washington's health.
"We all know how important this is for all of us, but health is more important than anything, and me personally, I'm not letting him back in the dugout until I know he's 100 percent OK. I love the guy too much," Minasian said.
Washington is in his second season with the Angels and has a 103-139 record with the team. Los Angeles is 40-40 this season.
Overall, Washington holds a 767-750 record in 10 seasons. He guided Texas (2007-14) to the World Series in 2010 and 2011 with the Rangers losing each time.
Montgomery, 55, is in his fourth season on the Angels' coaching staff. Goins, 37, has been an infield coach for the Angels since last spring, following an eight-year playing career with the Toronto Blue Jays, Kansas City Royals and Chicago White Sox.

Jake Paul scorecards revealed with YouTube star DOMINATING Julio Cesar Chavez Jr after losing just ONE round
JAKE PAUL's dominating win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr was clear to see after the scorecards were revealed. The YouTuber-turned-boxer secured an easy victory against the Mexican at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. 4 4 4 Paul, 28, controlled the fight as he was named the unanimous winner by the judges. Chavez struggled to get forward in the fight until the final few rounds. This was reflected in the judges' cards as Paul claimed every single round except for just ONE. The scorecard shows that in round nine, two judges thought that Chavez was the winner 10-9 over Paul. It was far too little, far too late for Chavez to claw back a points victory as Paul had already won the first eight rounds. His fight back was also short-lived as two of the three judges also gave round 10 to Paul. The Problem Child has given his verdict on the victory as he hit out at his critics. He said: "All the boos are words and actions speak louder than words so you can shut the f*** up. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS "I beat your boy. Nah he is a warrior but so am I. "I think I did great against a former world champion who has never been stopped and I dominated him. "Yeah 100 per cent I'm staying active, I'm fighting everybody. "I'll fight anyone, any time, anywhere, any place." Paul also took the opportunity to call out British boxing icon Anthony Joshua. It comes a day after AJ sent him a message urging him to be careful what he wishes for. Meanwhile, Chavez admitted that he is ready for more fights after the bout with the YouTuber. 4

Paris Saint-Germain vs Inter Miami predictions, odds and betting tips
PSG will continue their quest to win a first ever FIFA Club World Cup when they take on Inter Miami at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Sunday. Standing in their way will be former star striker Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami teammates, in what is set to be a headline grabbing showdown. PSG vs Inter Miami odds Find the latest football betting odds for PSG vs Inter Miami here. Our odds are provided by our recommended football betting sites and are subject to change. PSG vs Inter Miami predictions Paris Saint-Germain is having a season to remember. Already champions of Europe and winners of their domestic treble, the Parisians are also chasing a first ever win at the FIFA Club World Cup. There was a belief that the Parisians might ease off the gas after such a great campaign. Any worries that this might happen were soon dealt with after Luis Enrique's team dismantled a strong looking Atletico Madrid side 4-0 in their opening match. Paris did suffer a mishap in their second Group B fixture. The European champions lost 1-0 to Botafogo of Brazil. The result didn't really reflect the match, with Paris having 75% of the possession along with 16 attempts on goal to the Brazilians' four. The telling statistic was the scoreline. But PSG did also only manage two shots on target from their 16 efforts. Botafogo hit the target with all four of their attempts on goal. PSG had no such problems in their final match, comfortably beating Seattle Sounders 2-0 to seal qualification for the Round of 16 as the group winners. Despite an up and down season in the MLS, Inter Miami have had what can only be described as a successful debut season in the FIFA Club World Cup. Lionel Messi obviously grabs all the headlines, and at times this is only fair. Afterall, Messi scored the crucial goal that gave the MLS franchise a 2-1 win over Porto in their second group match - a result that effectively sealed Miami's place in the Round of 16. The Americans managed a second place finish in Group A, finishing behind Palmeiras of Brazil on goal difference only. Javier Mascherano's team have every right to be disappointed that they didn't top the group. With just ten minutes remaining of their final match against Palmeiras, Inter led 2-0. The three points would have seen them finish first. A remarkable fightback from the Brazilians saw them peg Inter back and the match finished 2-2. As a result, Palmeiras will face Botafogo in the Round of 16, while Inter are left to take on PSG. Regardless of the result on Sunday, it has been a successful campaign for the Miami franchise. PSG vs Inter Miami betting tips PSG are the overwhelming favourites to beat Inter Miami and set up a possible quarter-final showdown with Bayern Munich (if the Germans can get past Flamengo). Former PSG old boy Lionel Messi will be out to cause the biggest upset of the competition. There's little doubt that Messi will be up for it, but it's hard to see the rest of his teammates being able to match Paris. Our match tips follow: PSG to win and both teams to score PSG have only conceded in one of their three matches at the Club World Cup. Despite this, we can see Inter Miami finding the net. The PSG goal led a charmed life against Atletico Madrid and Seattle Sounders also had their chances, but lacked the required composure in front of goal. Inter Miami won't have those problems. If they can create the chances, either one of Lionel Messi or Luis Suárez are likely to be more ruthless. We can also see PSG comfortably outclassing the MLS outfit. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to assist There is plenty of talk about Ousmane Dembélé winning the Ballon d'Or, but at the moment, Dembélé's teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia looks like one of the most in-form players on the planet. The Georgian has two goals and one assist so far at the Club World Cup - meaning he has played a role in half of his team's goals in the competition. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is just 12/25 to score or assist. With his recent record of laying on goals, we think it's better value to just back him to have one or more assists at 27/10. Over 3.5 goals PSG are likely to win this match with a bit to spare. We can also see Inter Miami finding the back of the net if Paris are offering up the sort of chances they did against Atletico and Seattle. It is tempting to back Messi to find the net against his former club. But we feel this bet makes more sense, as it also covers a one-sided hammering in favour of the Parisians.
