Stassi went 4-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's 11-10 loss to the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Stassi's two-run single tied the game at 6-6 in the third inning, and he added a solo shot in the seventh for the Angels' last run. Sunday's big game gave the catcher three multi-hit efforts in his last five contests since returning from the COVID-19 injured list. He's up to a .250/.330/.417 slash line with four homers, 11 RBI, 14 runs scored and a pair of doubles through 24 games this season.

Stassi (illness) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Stassi spent just under two weeks on the IL, and he'll rejoin the Angels after going 3-for-8 with a homer, a double, two runs, two RBI and two strikeouts over two rehab games at Single-A Inland Empire. The 31-year-old should serve as the Angels' primary catcher now that he's back to full health.

Stassi (illness) will begin a rehab assignment at Single-A Inland Empire on Saturday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stassi has been on the COVID-19 injured list for a week and a half and said that he felt sick for three or four days last week. However, he rejoined the Angels on Friday and participated in workouts. He expects to play in at least two rehab games, and it seems likely that the backstop will be activated from the injured list early next week.

Stassi (undisclosed) was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stassi was held out of the lineup Monday against the Rays and will now join fellow catcher Kurt Suzuki (undisclosed) on the COVID-19 IL. It's unclear if either player has tested positive for the virus, but the Angels are without their top two catchers regardless. Austin Romine was called up in a corresponding move and should split reps behind the plate with Chad Wallach.

Stassi is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Angels are wrapping up their four-game set in Chicago with a day game, so Stassi will take a seat while No. 2 backstop Kurt Suzuki makes his second start in three days. With a single in Sunday's 6-5 win, Stassi extended his hit streak to four games and is now sitting on a .229 batting average for the season.

Stassi will sit Saturday against the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Stassi remains the No. 1 catcher in Anaheim, though not by a particularly wide margin. He's made 13 starts behind the plate this season, while Saturday's starter, Kurt Suzuki, has made nine.
