2023 Fantasy Outlook
In his 10th season as a big-leaguer, Stassi was as close to being the top option behind the plate in 2022 as he's ever been, logging career highs with 102 games and 375 plate appearances. However, after two strong campaigns to get to that point, the veteran cratered as a hitter, posting a 63 wRC+ and recording a 29.9% strikeout rate. Stassi still has two years left on his contract and has likely earned some grace due to the strong start to his tenure as an Angel. Kurt Suzuki, whom Stassi had become accustomed to sharing time with, announced his plans to retire following the 2022 campaign, but a more imposing threat to Stassi's playing time looms in Logan O'Hoppe, whom Los Angeles acquired from the Phillies last season. O'Hoppe crushed Double-A pitching -- especially after joining the Angels organization -- and held his own during a brief cup of coffee with the big club. Odds are that Stassi will open 2023 as the team's primary catcher, but O'Hoppe is waiting in the wings and could win the Opening Day nod with a strong spring training. Read Past Outlooks

Goes on restricted list
The Angels placed Stassi (personal) on the restricted list Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Stassi was initially placed on the 15-day injured list after suffering a hip injury late in spring training before he was transferred to the 60-day IL in June. Though the Angels have noted that Stassi is ostensibly healthy again and "in a position to resume activities," he's voluntarily choosing to sit out the remainder of the 2023 season while he tends to a serious family medical issue that has prompted him to conduct his rehab away from the team since the end of spring training. In 2024, Stassi will be entering the final season of the three-year, $17.5 million extension he signed with the Angels in May 2022, and Los Angeles also holds a $7.5 million club option and $500,000 buyout of his contract for the 2025 season.

Stassi has posted 136 and 107 wRC+ marks in the last two seasons, respectively, so he has some offensive punch relative to the position. He'll likely split playing time with Kurt Suzuki. Stassi hit .241/.326/.426 with 13 homers in 87 games last season, though his 31.7 percent strikeout rate creates some risk.
