Stassi went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Stassi tied the game at 2-2 with a homer in the second inning, but the Yankees took the lead back in the top of the third. Playing time has gotten a little thin for Stassi lately, though it's been warranted, as he entered Tuesday in a 1-for-39 slump across his previous 10 games. That cold spell has dropped his slash line to .191/.277/.318 with eight homers, 26 RBI, 26 runs scored and 10 doubles through 85 contests this year. Stassi, Matt Thaiss and Kurt Suzuki have each started two of the Angels' last six games at catcher, which makes it difficult for any of them to carve out enough playing time to help fantasy managers.

Stassi is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Stassi was behind the plate for the final two games of the Angels' weekend series in Detroit, but he was on the bench for consecutive games Wednesday and Friday while he works through a prolonged slump at the plate. He didn't take much of a meaningful step forward over the weekend by going 1-for-8, and he's now slashing .088/.139/.088 with a 27.8 percent strikeout rate over his last nine games. Kurt Suzuki will step in at catcher Tuesday and could work his way into a timeshare arrangement with Stassi if the latter's bat fails to heat up anytime soon.

EDGE Analysis
Stassi blasted a two-run shot in the top of the ninth inning to give the Angels a 3-0 lead. The long ball proved to be crucial, as Seattle came back for three runs in the bottom of the frame but ultimately lost in the 10th. The long ball was the second since the All-Star break for Stassi, who is slashing .256/.302/.513 with seven RBI and five runs over 12 second-half contests.
