Stassi went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
After getting a couple of nights off, Stassi got the start Thursday and capitalized with a solo home run in the eighth inning to extend the Angels' lead to 4-0. The long ball was Stassi's ninth on the season and first this month. He is slashing .182/.268/.307 through 100 games this season and should continue to be part of the Angels' catching rotation to close the season.

Stassi is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
After a recent string of three consecutive starts behind the dish, Stassi will sit for the second straight game while Matt Thaiss handles catching duties. Stassi still looks to be Option 1A for the Angels, but his major downturn in performance in 2022 could result in Thaiss becoming part of a timeshare at the position. After posting a .752 OPS last season, the 31-year-old Stassi is slashing .179/.267/.297 over his 352 plate appearances in 2022.

Stassi (undisclosed) went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and three strikeouts in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Stassi didn't miss any additional time after leaving Friday's game for precautionary reasons. He's now 1-for-13 with four walks, five strikeouts, one RBI and two runs scored through five games in September. With Kurt Suzuki (bereavement) available again and Matt Thaiss still on the roster, playing time behind the dish for the Angels is likely to remain as a three-way timeshare.

Stassi is not in the Angels' lineup for Friday's game against Houston, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stassi has not been much of a threat at the plate this season, and his most recent cold spell -- he has a .374 OPS since the beginning of August -- hasn't helped him secure playing time. Instead, Matt Thaiss will serve as the Angels' catcher Friday.
