While the team did not specify a reason, Suzuki’s absence is ostensibly related to COVID-19 because he was replaced by Chad Wallach, a catcher who is not on the 40-man roster.
Suzuki, the backup to Max Stassi, is hitting .179 with one home run and four RBIs in 12 games.
The Angels also optioned pitcher Jhonathan Diaz to Triple-A and selected the contract of reliever Kyle Barraclough. Diaz beat the Washington Nationals in his 2022 debut Friday, working around trouble for five scoreless innings. Diaz, a 25-year-old left-hander from Venezuela, still has a chance to supplant Jose Suarez, a 24-year-old left-hander from Venezuela, as the team’s sixth starter.Wallach, 30, could be in the Angels’ lineup as early as Sunday. The Fullerton product has played 78 major league games over the last five seasons, batting .207 with a .271 on-base percentage and .303 slugging percentage.
The Nationals briefly employed Barraclough during their 2019 championship series. Barraclough said he received a World Series ring despite being designated for assignment at midseason. He made his 2022 debut in the sixth inning against Washington and threw two scoreless innings, allowing only a single to Juan Soto.Griffin Canning said he threw 30 pitches in two “innings” of 15 pitches each off a mound Friday. He will face live hitters at Angel Stadium on Monday.
