Thaiss is back in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, starting at catcher and batting seventh.

EDGE Analysis

According to J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News, manager Phil Nevin said Thaiss has been dealing with a minor hip issue, which may explain why the backstop was out of the lineup each of the past three games. Assuming he comes out of Sunday's contest no worse for the wear, Thaiss should see the bulk of the starts at catcher over Chad Wallach heading into the Angels' upcoming seven-game week.

Thaiss is out of the lineup Friday versus the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Chad Wallach will catch and bat eighth with left-hander Jesus Luzardo set to take the mound for Miami. Thaiss is enjoying a strong season but probably will continue to sit against most southpaws.

Thaiss went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Thaiss has now hit safely in three straight games, going 3-for-8 with two RBI in that span. The catcher extended the Angels' lead to 2-0 with his fifth-inning solo shot Tuesday. For the season, he's slashing .291/.374/.418 with two homers, 10 RBI, 14 runs scored and four doubles through 91 plate appearances.

EDGE Analysis

Thaiss will take a seat for the second time in three games with Chad Wallach starting at catcher and hitting eighth against Minnesota on Sunday.

Thaiss is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Thaiss has seen the overwhelming majority of playing time behind the plate lately for the Angels, but he'll get a day off against the Twins on Friday for their series opener. Chad Wallach is starting behind the plate and hitting eighth.

Thaiss will start at catcher and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Though he was on the bench for Tuesday's 3-1 loss, Thaiss should have a clearer path to seeing the bulk of the starts behind the plate after Chad Wallach (concussion/neck) recently joined Max Stassi (personal/hip) and Logan O'Hoppe (shoulder) on the injured list. Thaiss is hitting .310 with an .829 OPS over 50 plate appearances on the season and could be worth a look in leagues that start two catchers where he may still be available on the waiver wire.

Thaiss went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 16-8 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

This was Thaiss's second three-hit effort in his last three games. The catcher's productive hitting of late has raised his batting average from .207 at the end of April to .300 after Sunday's contest. He's added a home run, six RBI, nine runs scored and two doubles through 46 plate appearances this season. Thaiss and Chad Wallach are seeing a roughly even split of playing time behind the dish over the last week.

Thaiss went 3-for-5 with two runs and two RBI in an 11-7 win against St. Louis on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Thaiss opened the scoring for Los Angeles with an RBI single in the second inning. He knocked in another run with a single in the following frame and finished with his first three-hit game of the season. Thaiss is slashing .265/.375/.412 with a home run, eight runs and six RBI through 40 plate appearances on the campaign.

Thaiss will start at catcher and bat sixth Sunday against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Thaiss is back in the lineup after sitting in each of the Angels' last three games, with two of the lefty-hitting catcher's absences coming against southpaws and one coming versus right-hander Corbin Burnes. Though Thaiss will draw back into the starting nine for the series finale in Milwaukee, the fact that the righty-hitting Chad Wallach drew the start against Burnes on Saturday suggests that Thaiss may not even be viewed as a strong-side platoon option at the position while the Angels are without both Max Stassi (hip) and Logan O'Hoppe (shoulder).

Thaiss is out of the starting lineup against the Brewers on Saturday, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

EDGE Analysis

Thaiss will sit against southpaw Wade Miley after starting the last two games for the Angels and going 3-for-7. Chad Wallach will be the starting backstop for Los Angeles and hit eighth.
