Los Angeles Angels catcher Matt Thaiss is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Martin Perez and the Texas Rangers.
Thaiss went 0-for-8 with three walks and five strikeouts over the last four games. Kurt Suzuki will catch for Michael Lorenzen and bat seventh on Thursday afternoon.
Suzuki has a $2,000 salary on Thursday and numberFire’s models project him for 7.3 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Angels’ implied total (3.68) is No. 16 in the majors today.
