Kurt Suzuki Stats

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.

Los Angeles Angels catcher Kurt Suzuki (leg) is considered day-to-day. The veteran is dealing with left leg soreness after getting nailed by a pitch during Friday's meeting against Arizona. The team hasn't called up another catcher, so it appears that Suzuki could be available at some point during upcoming games against Oakland and Detroit. Nonetheless, fantasy managers who still have him on the roster should continue to monitor his status moving ahead.

Los Angeles Angels catcher Kurt Suzuki will try and give the team some offense from the catching position beginning hopefully Tuesday against the Rangers. With starter Max Stassi on the injured list, the veteran backstop has had to play regularly. The results have not been pretty as Suzuki is only 4-for-33 (.121) in the month of May. There was a time when Suzuki could be counted on for a professional at-bat and the occasional line drive but those days seem like forever ago right now. For the season Suzuki is slashing an anemic ..178/.265/.247 through 73 plate appearances and has zero fantasy value right now.
