Takes seat against Brewers Thaiss is out of the starting lineup against the Brewers on Saturday, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Resting for day game Thaiss is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Impact Though he's temporarily moved to the top of the depth chart at catcher with Logan O'Hoppe (shoulder) recently joining Max Stassi (hip) on the injured list, Thaiss will take a seat for the day game after a night game while Chad Wallach receives a turn behind the dish. In Saturday's 11-8 loss, Thaiss caught all nine innings and went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and an additional run scored. The two hits were the first of the season for Thaiss, who went 0-for-12 over his first six games with the Angels.

Goes deep in loss Thaiss went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in a loss to the Royals on Saturday.

Impact Thaiss enjoyed a positive night at the plate, scoring the Angels' first run in the third inning and belting a two-run homer to right field in the eighth. The hits were his first of the campaign -- he entered Saturday having gone 0-for-12 through his first six contests. Thaiss is likely to see more time behind the plate with Logan O'Hoppe (shoulder) on the injured list and Max Stassi (hip) still not ready to return from his IL stint.

Behind plate Tuesday Thaiss is hitting eighth and behind the plate Tuesday against the Mariners.

Impact Thaiss gets the start behind the plate with Logan O'Hoppe taking a rest for Tuesday's contest. In 29 games last year, the 27-year-old registered a .640 OPS in 81 plate appearances.

Will be on Opening Day roster Thaiss will make the Angels' Opening Day roster, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact Thaiss has been competing for a spot on the 26-man roster throughout the spring, and his most impressive stat has been his 10:7 BB:K. He's slashed just .200/.378/.257 with no homers or RBI over 45 plate appearances, but the decision to carry him on the Opening Day roster was made easy when Max Stassi (hip) was moved to the 10-day IL. Thaiss will begin the campaign as the backup to Logan O'Hoppe behind the plate.

MARCH 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Slight favorite to win roster spot Thaiss appears as a slight favorite to begin the season in the majors over Logan O'Hoppe, MLB.com reports.

Impact Thaiss is hitting .389 with a 1.060 OPS in 18 at-bats this spring. He's competing with Logan O'Hoppe for the backup role to Max Stassi. O'Hoppe is a top prospect and the Angels may want him to play every day in the minors initially. Still, this job battle may come down to the final days of spring training.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Poaching starts from Stassi Thaiss will start at catcher and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact He's behind the plate for the third time in four games and appears to have settled in as the Angels' preferred option at catcher ahead of the struggling Max Stassi, who is hitting .109 with a 31.8 percent strikeout rate since the beginning of August. Thaiss hasn't dazzled since being called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Aug. 25, but his .233/.306/.372 slash line in 17 games over the past month is a marked improvement from what Stassi has provided the Angels.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Logs first steal Thaiss went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 8-7 win over the Mariners.

Impact Thaiss went without a hit for the third time in his last four games, but he was able to record the first stolen base of his career after a sixth-inning walk. The 27-year-old is slashing .256/.302/.410 with two home runs, four RBI and five runs scored through 43 plate appearances. He's still likely to be limited to backup duties at catcher and first base.
