Kurt Suzuki Stats

Los Angeles Angels catcher Kurt Suzuki was removed from Saturday's contest after a warm-up pitch bounced and hit him in the neck before the top half of the third inning. The veteran needed assistance to get down the dugout steps and appeared to pass out in a scary looking situation. Max Stassi came in to replace Suzuki who was 0-for-1 in the contest before departing. Expect the Angels to update his status later this evening or before tomorrow's finale versus the Blue Jays.

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.
