Thaiss went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI during Sunday's 5-4 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Thaiss opened the scoring with a two-run home run in the second inning and ended the game with a walkoff solo shot in the bottom of the ninth. This effort doubled the season home run total for Thaiss, who had just two hits in his previous six games coming in. With that said, he has still yet to establish himself as a regular fantasy contributor.

Thaiss will start at third base and bat eighth Sunday against the Orioles, Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thaiss's playing time had been trending down at the start of the second half, but he'll pick up his fourth consecutive start at either corner-infield spot in the series finale. The matchup with Baltimore's lowly pitching staff has woken Thaiss's dormant bat up to some extent this weekend, as he's gone 2-for-8 with a home run and a pair of walks in the first three games of the series.

Thaiss went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Thaiss isn't in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Thaiss drew a start Wednesday, but he was unable to collect a base knock (0-for-4). He'll head to the bench with a lefty on the hill for Houston in the series finale. David Fletcher will start at third base and lead off with Thaiss riding the pine.

Thaiss will head to the bench for Tuesday's game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old will take a seat for the second straight contest, as David Fletcher once again draws the start at the hot corner. Thaiss has gone 3-for-17 with a homer and four RBI over five games since being promoted July 3.

Thaiss will head to the bench for Monday's game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Thaiss went 2-for-3 with a walk, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Sunday's series finale with Seattle, but he'll take a seat Monday with Framber Valdez set to serve as the bulk reliever.

Thaiss went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored during Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Thaiss entered the game with just one hit in 14 at-bats this month, but he came through in a big way when he hit a three-run home run -- the first of his career -- to give his club the lead for good in the eighth inning. Despite this pivotal contribution, Thaiss should not be considered for fantasy purposes until he displays the ability to produce regularly.

Thaiss is not starting Saturday against Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Thaiss started four of the six previous games but will sit Saturday, likely due to the Mariners starting lefty Wade LeBlanc. If Thaiss is indeed in a platoon role, he could find himself on the bench frequently over the next few days, with the Angels facing three lefties in their next five contests. David Fletcher will start at third base Saturday, with Luis Rengifo at second.
