Behind all the incredible catches and amazingly clutch performances, we can sometimes forget that these athletes are real people with very human problems. Today, the Angels' Torii Hunter was placed on the restricted list after discovering that his son was charged with sexually assaulting a child. According to a news release from the town of Prosper, Texas, 17-year-old Darius McClinton-Hunter was arrested, along with three others, for the second-degree felony.   

When asked about Hunter's expected return to the field, Angels' manager Mike Scioscia simply responded, "It's a personal matter. We're going to go day-to-day, and we'll just see where it is. That's all I'm going to say." Take your time, Torii. Family always comes first.
