The Angels have placed outfielder Torii Hunter on the restricted list due to personal reasons and plan to select the contract of Ryan Langerhans from Triple-A Salt Lake, according to Tim Mead of the Angels (via Twitter). Hunter's Texas-based son was charged with a crime earlier today, according to a report from NBC Dallas Fort Worth.
Hunter, 37 in July, is in the final year of a five-year, $90MM pact. So far this year, the outfielder is hitting .256/.328/.413 with five homers in 33 games. Players on the restricted list do not count toward a team's 25-man or 40-man roster.
