OAKLAND, Calif. — Angels first baseman Kendry Morales will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on his broken left leg.
Morales, who had the operation Thursday, broke his leg while leaping onto home plate during a celebration after his game-ending grand slam against Seattle on May 29.
Morales was leading the team with 11 homers, 39 RBIs and a .290 average at the time.
