Matt Thaiss Not Starting Thursday
2 years agoLos 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.
