Geovany Soto Out Four To Six Weeks Due To Torn Meniscus

By Steve Adams | May 18, 2016 at 6:09pm CDT

Angels catcher Geovany Soto will miss the next four to six weeks due to a torn meniscus in his right knee that will require surgery, GM Billy Eppler told reporters, including Pedro Moura of the L.A. Times (links to Twitter). Catching prospect Jett Bandy will join the Angels tonight, Moura adds.

Soto becomes the latest in a seemingly ceaseless cavalcade of injuries for the Angels, who currently have Garrett Richards, Andrew Heaney, C.J. Wilson, Andrelton Simmons, Huston Street, Daniel Nava, Craig Gentry, Cory Rasmus and Cliff Pennington on the Major League disabled list. That list doesn’t include left-hander Tyler Skaggs, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery but has had some recent setbacks at the Triple-A level.

Soto, 33, has hit well in limited action with the Halos this season, batting .283/.338/.483 with three homers in 67 trips to the plate. He signed a one-year, $2.8MM contract with the Angels this offseason. With Soto on the shelf, Bandy will pair with 25-year-old Carlos Perez behind the plate to comprise the Angels’ primary catching tandem. Bandy made his big league debut for the Angels in 2015 but received just two plate appearances in his brief promotion to the Majors. The former 31st-round pick rated 23rd (MLB.com) and 27th (Baseball America) in a weak Angels farm system heading into the season. He’s off to a .274/.314/.411 start with a pair of homers at Triple-A Salt Lake this season, and he’s caught 13 of 27 potential base thieves (48 percent). Bandy has halted 36 percent of stolen base attempts over the course of six minor league seasons.

      His arms and legs will fall off soon enough. He’ll still win MVP.

      If I were the Angels organization, I may consider taking a long, hard look at the strength and conditioning program. That seems to be an incredible amount of injuries…

    If I was asked, “How long do you think a catcher with a torn meniscus would be out?”, my guess would have been more than 4 to 6 weeks. Science

      It’s something that can heal on it’s own. With arthroscopic surgery and physical therapy the recovery is pretty quick.

      Ironically, I had surgery today for my torn meniscus. I’m only gonna be out 4-6 weeks max. I’m a college athlete and our trainers try and get us out in 2, but of course stay safe, so 6 is usually max.

    Combine the 2 LA teams’ DLs and you have a pretty nifty team.

    I enjoyed watching him play as a Ranger, and am pretty sure he tore a meniscus previously while with Texas. Hopefully he is back behind the plate soon.

    I picture the whole Angels team as being Wile E. Coyote, with a dark black rain cloud following them around and raining and lightning only on them.

    Im still standing by my prediction that the Angels win the 2016 WS. A band of misfit players and outcasts.

    Scioscia needs to let Bandy play this time.
    Don’t just leave him on the bench like he usually does with call ups.

      Young players are not entitled to playing time. I’m glad there are still managers out there that make their young players earn their playing time, like the days when a young starting pitcher usually had to win his spot by working their way in from the bullpen.
