Los Angeles Angels catcher Max Stassi, 32, will miss the entire 2023 season.
The Angels transferred Stassi to the restricted list on Thursday. According to ESPN, Stassi left the team during spring training due to a combination of issues, including family health concerns. He has been on the disabled list since March due to a hip injury. He was briefly linked to a return, but ultimately decided to miss the entire season.
“Out of respect for Stacy and his family, we will not comment further,” the Angels said in a team statement, “and the Angels wish Stacy and his family the best of luck. Stassi’s final Major League Baseball (MLB) appearance will be on October 6, 2022, against the Oakland Athletics.카지노사이트
Stassi made his big league debut in 2013 and has appeared in 403 career (10-year) games, batting .212 with 41 home runs and 128 RBIs. In 2021, he hit a career-high .241 with 13 home runs and 35 RBIs in 87 games. He was expected to compete with Logan Ohlhoff and Matt Tice for the starting job this season, but his season was cut short after appearing in just one game.
The Angels recently placed six veterans on waivers, declaring them out for the season. Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez, Dominic Leone, Hunter Renfroe, and Matt Moore have left the team. The departures from the stashmeter lineup will only add to fans’ frustration.
