(Los Angeles, CA) – Mark Polishuk is providing a Max Stassi update at “MLBTradeRumors.com” writing that the Angels have announced he has been placed on the restricted list, a roster move that keeps him on the team, but removes him from the team’s 53 man salary roster.

Max hasn’t played at all this season due, Polishuk writes, to both a hip strain and “a personal situation involving his family.” An announcement from the Angels says “He’s informed the angels that while he’s in a position to resume baseball activities, he’s voluntarily chose not to, for the remainder of the season as a result of a serious family medical issue. Out of respect for Max and his family, the Angels will not have any further comment and wish Max and his family all the best.”
