Walsh is dealing with headaches and insomnia, while Stassi’s hip soreness means top prospect Logan O’Hoppe will be the starting catcher in Thursday’s season opener.
ANAHEIM — An ongoing bout with headaches and insomnia will put Angels first baseman Jared Walsh on the injured list to open the season.
Walsh, 29, was in the midst of a strong spring, batting .400 with a 1.197 OPS to go along with two home runs and six RBIs. He is coming off a disappointing 2022 when he had a .642 OPS in a season when he was bothered by thoracic outlet syndrome. The IL move for Walsh means veteran infielder Jake Lamb is expected to make the Opening Day roster. Lamb, who has nine years of major league experience, batted .419 with a 1.013 OPS in 16 Cactus League games and had two home runs with nine RBIs.
O’Hoppe will not only make his first Opening Day roster, after appearing in five late-season games for the Angels in 2022, but he will be behind the plate for Thursday night’s season opener on the road against the Oakland Athletics.Nevin said right-hander Andrew Wantz will be on the roster to start the season, with the No. 6 starter spot still undecided.
