Thaiss is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thaiss went 3-for-6 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and three runs in Saturday's blowout victory but will return to the bench Sunday. Chad Wallach will start behind the plate for the fifth time in the Angels' past six games, though the pair are likely to continue in a timeshare going forward.

Thaiss went 3-for-6 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 25-1 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Thaiss came into Saturday 0-for-9 over his last four contests, and Chad Wallach had started four games in a row to capitalize on Thaiss's slump. That dry spell is over in a big way, but it's likely the Angels continue a timeshare behind the dish. Thaiss has held his own with a .277/.383/.409 slash line, four homers, 21 RBI, 22 runs scored and a stolen base over 162 plate appearances on the year.

The catcher finished with his first multi-hit game since May 29 and tallied a campaign-high three RBI. Despite the big performance Sunday, Thaiss is still batting just .200 (5-for-25) so far in June.
