Kurt Suzuki Drives In Run And Scores One In Loss
7 years agoAtlanta Braves catcher Kurt Suzuki scored a run on Wednesday afternoon with a really cool slide, timing his slap of home plate over the outstretched arm of Reds catcher Curt Casali. He should get some style points, or something. Anyways, he's continuing a trend of production at catcher for the Braves, and if they could meld him and Tyler Flowers into one player, they'd have an All-Star. Still, neither warrants much consideration outside of two-catcher leagues.

Kurt Suzuki Placed On Injured List
3 years agoLos Angeles Angels catcher Kurt Suzuki (undisclosed) has been placed on the injured list. The organization has not given an injury designation for Suzuki, so it's uncertain how much time he's going to miss. Chad Wallach has been recalled from the minors to take over the spot on the active roster. Max Stassi should continue to start, but Wallach could see some action, assuming Suzuki misses multiple games.

Kurt Suzuki Returns To Angels On One-Year Deal
3 years agoThe Los Angeles Angels are bringing back catcher Kurt Suzuki on a one-year, $1.75 million deal, according to MLB Insider's Robert Murray. Murray notes that the deal is pending a physical. Suzuki split catching duties with Max Stassi last year. Stassi, who also received a one-year contract from the Angels this offseason, was the superior catcher from an offensive standpoint. He slashed .241/.326/.426 with 13 home runs over 87 games while Suzuki slashed .224/.294/.342 with six home runs over 72 games. Expect to see a bit of a time-share between the two catchers again this year. Stassi should earn a greater chunk of the share, assuming he can pick up where he left off in 2021.
