Angels catcher Chris Iannetta taking his demotion in stride

Posted May 19, 2015
Angels catcher Carlos Perez was in the lineup for Friday night’s game against the Baltimore Orioles in Camden Yards, the seventh start in nine games for the 24-year-old rookie who was called up from triple-A Salt Lake on May 4. It’s pretty clear that Perez, who was hitting .318 with one homer and four runs batted in entering Friday has supplanted the struggling Chris Iannetta (.101) as the starter behind the plate, even though Manager Mike Scioscia hasn’t come right out and said it.
