Scuffling Angels C Chris Iannetta benched for next few days

Mike Scioscia has claimed that Angels catcher Chris Iannetta is getting a "breather." Others might look at his numbers and call it a benching.

Iannetta is set to sit for the next three games, per MLB.com. He has been slumping most of the season, including a recent 3-for-40 slide that has lowered his batting average to .182, its lowest point since June 30.
