Los Angeles Angels catcher Kurt Suzuki was removed from Saturday's contest after a warm-up pitch bounced and hit him in the neck before the top half of the third inning.

Los Angeles Angels catcher Kurt Suzuki (head) exited Wednesday's matchup against the Giants. The veteran took a foul ball to the mask in the 12th inning with nobody out.

Los Angeles Angels catcher Kurt Suzuki is enjoying a solid Spring Training with a just few days until the regular season begins. The veteran is slashing .300/.440/.300 in 20 at-bats and will serve as backup to incumbent starter Max Stassi.
