Kurt Suzuki Stats

Los Angeles Angels catcher Kurt Suzuki (undisclosed) has been placed on the injured list. The organization has not given an injury designation for Suzuki, so it's uncertain how much time he's going to miss. Chad Wallach has been recalled from the minors to take over the spot on the active roster. Max Stassi should continue to start, but Wallach could see some action, assuming Suzuki misses multiple games.

The Los Angeles Angels are bringing back catcher Kurt Suzuki on a one-year, $1.75 million deal, according to MLB Insider's Robert Murray. Murray notes that the deal is pending a physical. Suzuki split catching duties with Max Stassi last year. Stassi, who also received a one-year contract from the Angels this offseason, was the superior catcher from an offensive standpoint. He slashed .241/.326/.426 with 13 home runs over 87 games while Suzuki slashed .224/.294/.342 with six home runs over 72 games. Expect to see a bit of a time-share between the two catchers again this year. Stassi should earn a greater chunk of the share, assuming he can pick up where he left off in 2021.

Los Angeles Angels catcher Kurt Suzuki (head) exited Wednesday's matchup against the Giants. The veteran took a foul ball to the mask in the 12th inning with nobody out. As a result, and with the team out of position players, Taylor Ward switched over from left field to take over as the emergency backstop. Suzuki is considered day-to-day at the moment, but concussion protocol may be on the horizon. The 37-year-old is batting just .238 this season, so fantasy managers outside of deeper formats likely won't lose much sleep if his absence is a lengthy one.
