Matt Thaiss Stats

Los Angeles Angels catcher Matt Thaiss is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Texas Rangers and a left-handed starter. Thaiss has gone hitless in eight at-bats in his last three games, so it's time for the Angels to try someone new behind the dish. He's hitting just .222 (10-for-45) with two homers, four RBI and 18 strikeouts in 19 games for the Halos. Kurt Suzuki is getting the nod behind the plate on Thursday and will hit seventh in the batting order against Rangers left-hander Martin Perez. Suzuki is hitting just .179 on the year with four home runs in 134 at-bats. He has just two hits in 29 at-bats against southpaws in 2022, with one of them clearing the fences.

Los Angeles Angels corner infielder Matt Thaiss, who was originally drafted as a catcher in 2016, has been working to increase his versatility and has been catching again at Triple-A Salt Lake. Thaiss was converted to first base after being drafted, but he's also seen action at third base, second base and in the outfield. The 26-year-old saw 25 plate appearances in eight games for the Angels last year, hitting .143 (3-for-21) with a home run and one RBI. So far this year in the minors, he is slashing .300/.472/.475 with a home run, two doubles, one triple and six RBI in 53 plate appearances over 13 games for Salt Lake. The left-handed hitter can continue to be ignored in fantasy leagues, and he'll be just bench depth at the majors if he's called up at any point this year.

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Matt Thaiss will look to shake loose from a 1-for-20 slump heading into this week's fantasy action. Thaiss hit five home runs and posted a .600 slugging percentage in the month of July but is off to a very slow start this month. The rookie has struck out seven times over his last 20 at-bats and will need to make adjustments at the plate. Thaiss has dynasty value but, right now, cannot help fantasy rosters win games.
