Suzuki is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

With Max Stassi (concussion) on the 7-day injured list, Suzuki has temporarily taken over as the Angels' No. 1 catcher. After going 1-for-9 at the dish while starting in three of the Angels' last four games, Suzuki will be getting a routine breather for the series finale. Drew Butera will fill in for Suzuki at catcher, working in a battery with Jose Quintana.

EDGE Analysis

Suzuki had gone just 1-for-6 in his last two games. Drew Butera will take over behind the plate and bat ninth.

Suzuki has connected well as Shohei Ohtani's battery mate, and the two could be paired up frequently moving forward, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Max Stassi was activated from the injured list Thursday and figures to work as the Angels' primary catcher, but Suzuki should still start a few times a week. It appears that he could be a mainstay behind the plate in games that Ohtani pitches, as Maddon "values familiarity" with the flamethrowing hurler. Suzuki has fared well enough at the dish this season to warrant continued playing time, slashing .243/.326/.351 with a home run and four RBI.

EDGE Analysis

Suzuki was in the starting lineup in each of the last three games and went 3-for-11 with a home run and three RBI. Anthony Bemboom will take over behind the plate Wednesday, batting eighth.

Suzuki went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Tuesday in the Angels' 6-2 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Though he's in his age-37 season, Suzuki has proven himself to be one of the better offensive catchers in baseball over the past half decade. The Angels envision him filling more of a part-time role in 2021, but he'll be in store for the bulk of the starts behind the dish while Max Stassi (thumb) is on the injured list. Considering Stassi has yet to resume catching workouts, Suzuki should benefit from at least one more week as the Angels' No. 1 backstop.
