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

EDGE Analysis

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.
