| Dec 23 2023 | Wallach signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach will return to the Angels organization for a third season after slashing .188/.254/.354 with the major-league club across the past two years. Los Angeles already has plenty of options behind the plate at the big-league level, so Wallach will likely fill in as organizational depth with Triple-A Salt Lake. |
|
| Oct 16 2023 | Wallach cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach was also outrighted off the Angels' 40-man roster back in August, so he can elect free agency if he wants. The 31-year-old saw his most extensive big-league action to date in 2023 but produced just a .635 OPS in 65 contests for the Halos. |
|
| Aug 25 2023 | The Angels selected Wallach's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach was pushed off the 40-man roster earlier this month, but he's needed again to back up Logan O'Hoppe with Matt Thaiss (shoulder) landing on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. |
|
| Aug 18 2023 | Wallach was designated for assignment Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach has played in 10 games in August, going 3-for-18 in 19 plate appearances. One of those hits went down for extra-bases, and his last home run came on the final day of July. In a corresponding move, Logan O'Hoppe was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. |
|
| Jul 31 2023 | Wallach went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs Monday in a 4-1 win against Atlanta. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In Wallach's previous start (Thursday against Detroit), he hit a single to snap a brutal 0-for-38 slump. The backstop made a much bigger impact Monday, contributing a massive 441-foot solo shot in the sixth inning and finishing with his second three-hit game of the campaign. Wallach's recent hitless stretch resulted in him losing playing time and falling behind Matt Thaiss on the catcher depth chart, but Thaiss has been struggling too -- he's batting .146 with a 33.3 percent strikeout rate since the All-Star break -- so Wallach could find himself with more opportunities if he's able to build upon Monday's performance. |
|
| Jul 2 2023 | Wallach is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After going 0-for-20 with nine strikeouts over his last eight games, Wallach appears to have lost hold of the Angels' No. 1 catching gig, a role he appeared to have poached from Matt Thaiss a couple weeks ago. Thaiss will pick up his fourth start behind the plate in five games in place of the slumping Wallach. |
|
| Jul 1 2023 | Wallach isn't in the Angels' lineup Saturday against Arizona, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach put together a five-game hitting streak in mid-June, but he's now 0-for-20 with nine strikeouts across his last eight games. Matt Thaiss will start behind the dish Saturday for the Angels and bat sixth. |
|
| Jun 28 2023 | Wallach isn't in the Angels' lineup Wednesday agaisnt the White Sox, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach has traded starts back-and-forth with Matt Thaiss since Saturday, and Wednesday marks Thaiss' turn to start behind the dish. Wallach is 0-for-18 at the plate across his last seven games. |
|
| Jun 26 2023 | Wallach isn't in the Angels' lineup Monday against the White Sox, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach is 0-for-16 across his last six games, so he'll take a day off Monday to regroup. Matt Thaiss will take over behind the dish and bat seventh. |
|
| Jun 16 2023 | Wallach went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday in a 5-3 victory over the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach opened the scoring in the contest with a 424-foot solo shot to center field. The homer extended his modest hitting streak to five games, during which he's gone 5-for-11 with two long balls, three RBI and four runs. Wallach has launched six home runs and is slashing .280/.341/.547 in just 82 plate appearances on the campaign. Those solid numbers are starting to earn him more playing time, as Wallach has started behind the plate in each of the Angels' past three contests. |
|
| Jun 13 2023 | Wallach went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run during Monday's victory over the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach didn't start the game but entered in the 10th inning as a defensive replacement. He got his first at-bat in the 12th and took advantage, smashing a two-run home run to extend the Angels' lead to 9-5. With Max Stassi (personal) and Logan O'Hoppe (shoulder) unavailable, Wallach continues to serve as the primary backup to Matt Thaiss and has seen sporadic playing time, slashing .273/.324/.515 with five home runs and 10 RBI across 27 games (71 plate appearances). |
|
| May 28 2023 | Wallach is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach was behind the dish for each of the Angels' last three games and went 1-for-5 with three walks and two runs, but he still appears to be the No. 2 option at catcher behind Matt Thaiss. According to J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News, Angels manager Phil Nevin noted prior to Sunday's contest that Thaiss had been battling a minor hip issue, which may have explained Wallach's increased usage of late. |
|
| May 16 2023 | Wallach went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 9-5 win over the Orioles. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach was activated off the 7-day injured list and made his first start Monday since May 6. The catcher looked sharp in his return, recording his first three-hit game of the season while hitting his first home run since April 24. Matt Thaiss will likely get the bulk of starts at catcher when the Angels are facing right-handed pitching, but Wallach is the clear No. 2 with Max Stassi (personal/hip) and Logan O'Hoppe (shoulder) both unavailable for the foreseeable future. |
|
| May 15 2023 | Wallach (concussion) will start at catcher and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Orioles after the Angels reinstated him from the 7-day injured list, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach ended up spending just over the minimum amount of time on the shelf with what was an apparently mild concussion. Though Wallach will get the nod behind the dish in the series opener in Baltimore, the lefty-hitting Matt Thaiss -- who owns a solid .767 OPS on the season -- could end up getting the bulk of the starts at catcher when the Angels face right-handed pitching. |
|
| May 13 2023 | Wallach (concussion) is feeling much better and is on track to return Monday against the Orioles, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach was placed on the 7-day injured list Tuesday, but thankfully his concussion appears to be a minor one. His return will presumably push Chris Okey back to the minors. |
|
| May 9 2023 | Wallach was placed on the 7-day injured list by the Angels on Tuesday with an upper-body injury, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach will miss at least a week as he recovers from the sore neck he suffered before Sunday's game against the Rangers. Chris Okey is being recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake to take his place on the roster. |
|
| May 8 2023 | Wallach woke up with a sore neck before Sunday's game against the Rangers and he'll test it out during pregame activities, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach wasn't likely to play Monday anyway against right-hander Hunter Brown, but his availability off the bench will be determined in large part by how he looks in the pre-game workout. The Angels have Chris Okey up on the taxi squad, so it's possible the team could bring up Okey to be the backup backstop if they determine Wallach needs a short stint on the injured list. |
|
| May 7 2023 | Wallach is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: On the bench for the third time in four games, Wallach may have seated the Angels' No. 1 catcher role to Matt Thaiss for the time being. Both backstops will likely see their opportunities take a hit whenever Max Stassi (hip/personal) is cleared to return from the 10-day injured list, though that's not likely to happen for several weeks. |
|
| Apr 30 2023 | Wallach is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he'll take a seat in the series finale, Wallach may have at least temporarily eclipsed Matt Thaiss on the Angels' depth chart at catcher. Wallach started each of the past three games, though he reached base just two times in 10 trips to the plate. |
|
| Nov 23 2022 | Wallach signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Wednesday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach was cast off the Angels' 40-man roster in early November and became a free agent after refusing an outright assignment to Triple-A Salt Lake. However, he'll return to the organization and is a strong candidate to serve as a non-roster invitee this spring. He hit .143 with a home run, four RBI and three runs over 12 games with the Angels last year. |
|
| Nov 3 2022 | Wallach cleared waivers and elected free agency Thursday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Angels outrighted Wallach to Triple-A Salt Lake, but he rejected that assignment and has instead chosen free agency. He played in 12 major-league games last season and spent most of the campaign at Salt Lake, where he had a .219/.304/.361 slash line. |
|
| Sep 10 2022 | Wallach was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach provided additional catching depth for the Halos over the last week but will return to the minors after Kurt Suzuki was reinstated from the bereavement list. Wallach has slashed .198/.287/.340 with eight home runs, 37 RBI and 32 runs over 81 Triple-A games this year. |
|
| Sep 3 2022 | Wallach was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach has been in the minors since late May but will rejoin the active roster after Kurt Suzuki was placed on the bereavement list Saturday. The Angels also have Max Stassi and Matt Thaiss available to start behind the dish, so Wallach should serve as additional depth at catcher until Suzuki rejoins the team. |
|
| May 23 2022 | Wallach was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 30-year-old joined the Angels while Max Stassi and Kurt Suzuki were on the COVID-19 injured list, but Wallach will head back to the minors now that Stassi and Suzuki are back to full health. Over 10 games in the majors, Wallach hit .156 with a homer, a double, four RBI and three runs. |
|
| May 22 2022 | Wallach is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the A's, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach started the past four games but will head to the bench Sunday with Kurt Suzuki (illness) back from the COVID-19 injured list. Wallach should serve as the Halos' No. 2 catcher until Max Stassi (illness) also makes his return. |
|
| May 16 2022 | Wallach is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach will take a seat after catching three of the Halos' past four games. Austin Romine checks in behind the plate for Wallach in the series opener in Texas. |
|
| May 11 2022 | Wallach went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 12-0 victory versus the Rays. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach's claim to fame in this game will be being behind the plate for Reid Detmers' no-hitter, but the backstop also made an impact on offense with his three-run homer off Corey Kluber in the third inning. This was just his second major-league game of the season, as he has been pressed into action with both Max Stassi and Kurt Suzuki on the COVID-19 injured list. Wallach now four homers over 240 career plate appearances. |
|
| May 7 2022 | Wallach's contract was selected by the Angels on Saturday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach is set to back up Max Stassi, with Kurt Suzuki (undisclosed) heading to the injured list. Wallach has hit just .207/.271/.303 in 78 career games at the major-league level, so he'd be an unexciting fantasy option even if an injury to Stassi opens up an unexpected starting role. |
|
| Jul 30 2021 | Wallach was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers on Friday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach gives the Dodgers an extra catcher on the 40-man roster after Keibert Ruiz was traded to the Nationals. He's unlikely to play a significant big-league role unless Will Smith or Austin Barnes get injured. |
|
| Jul 24 2021 | The Marlins designated Wallach for assignment on Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The catcher was recalled before Friday's game and struck out in his only plate appearance. Wallach has appeared in 23 total games for the Marlins this season, hitting .200 with six RBI and 32 strikeouts. He was DFA'd to make room on the 40-man roster for Brian Anderson, whom the team activated from the 60-day injured list Saturday. |
|
| Jul 23 2021 | Wallach was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach appeared in 22 games with the major-league club earlier in the year, but he spent nearly two months at Triple-A Jacksonville prior to Friday's call-up. He hit .204 with seven home runs, 17 RBI and 11 runs across 31 minor-league contests, and he should serve as catching depth in the near future. |
|
| May 24 2021 | Wallach was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach had lost out on playing time recently, and he'll head to the minors after Jorge Alfaro (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Wallach slashed .203/.246/.271 with three extra-base hits, six RBI and two runs to begin the season. |
|
| May 5 2021 | Wallach remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though top catcher Jorge Alfaro (hamstring) hasn't played since April 20, Wallach remains stuck in the No. 2 role behind the plate. Rather than Wallach, veteran Sandy Leon has seemingly emerged as the Marlins' preferred backstop. Leon will pick up his third consecutive start Wednesday. |
|
| Apr 23 2021 | Wallach isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach went hitless in two at-bats while serving as a starter in Thursday's series opener against San Francisco. However, Sandy Leon will start behind the dish Friday, batting eighth. |
|
| Apr 22 2021 | Wallach will start at catcher and bat eighth in Thursday's lineup against the Giants, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach was expected to see an uptick in playing time after Jorge Alfaro (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. However, Sandy Leon drew the first start in Alfaro's absence, so it remains to be seen how the playing time behind the dish will be split. |
|
| Apr 21 2021 | Wallach isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach could see the bulk of the playing time behind the dish in the near future after Jorge Alfaro (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day IL on Wednesday. However, Sandy Leon will start behind the dish Wednesday, batting eighth. |
|
| Apr 2 2021 | Wallach won a spot on the Marlins' Opening Day roster as the No. 2 catcher, Jordan McPherson of The Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He beat out veteran non-roster invitee Sandy Leon for the job. Wallach is a solid defender and game-caller behind the plate, traits which allowed him to assume the starting role down the stretch last year as Jorge Alfaro struggled, but Wallach's career .600 OPS in the majors gives him little fantasy ceiling even if he were to see significant playing time again. |
|
| Sep 30 2020 | Wallach will start at catcher and will bat ninth Wednesday in Game 1 of the Marlins' wild-card series with the Cubs, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though Jorge Alfaro (when healthy) has retained the top spot on the Marlins' depth chart at catcher for much of this season, his struggles at the dish resulted in him ceding work to Wallach down the stretch. Wallach was behind the plate for three of the Marlins' final four regular-season contests, and his inclusion in the lineup for the team's postseason opener leaves little doubt that manager Don Mattingly views him as the top backstop for the time being. |
|
| Sep 13 2020 | Wallach went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in an 8-1 win over the Phillies in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach swatted his first homer of the year in the sixth inning, which would account for the last runs of the game. It was just his second his in 15 at-bats this year. Wallach sees infrequent playing time as the backup to Jorge Alfaro at catcher. |
|
| Aug 29 2020 | Wallach (undisclosed) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach was placed on the injured list earlier this month. He should immediately slot in as Jorge Alfaro's backup with Francisco Cervelli (concussion) still recovering, and he could see an occasional start behind the plate. |
|
| Aug 4 2020 | Wallach was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday for an undisclosed reason, Jared Diamond of The Wall Street Journal reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wallach earned an Opening Day roster spot as the Marlins' third catcher, but he'll be sidelined after Tuesday's move. The team didn't provide an explanation for the transaction. If his absence is related to the COVID-19 outbreak among the team's players, the Marlins wouldn't be allowed to say so without his permission. Francisco Cervelli and Ryan Lavarnway should handle the catching duties with Wallach on the injured list. |
|
| Mar 20 2020 | Wallach is expected to begin the season at Triple-A Wichita, but he was making a strong case for a big-league roster spot when spring training was suspended, going 7-for-18 (.389) with two home runs and a double. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old took full advantage of the Grapefruit League opportunities opened up by Jorge Alfaro's strained oblique, but the delayed start to the regular season should give Alfaro more than enough time to recover and cut off Wallach's path to the 26-man roster. Even if Alfaro is healthy for Opening Day, Francisco Cervelli has a lengthy concussion history, and the odds are good Wallach will be needed in the bigs at some point. |
|
| Nov 1 2019 | Wallach (concussion) was reinstated from the 60-day inured list Friday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Players can't spend the offseason on the injured list, so the move indicates nothing about Wallach's health. A concussion the catcher suffered in late May lingered for the rest of the season, and he played in just four rehab games the rest of the season, with just one of those coming after the All-Star break. |
|
| Aug 26 2019 | Wallach (concussion) paused his rehab assignment for further evaluation Monday, | Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports. |

|
| Jul 9 2018 | Wallach was called up to Miami on Monday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports. | The Marlins need a second catcher with J.T. Realmuto on the paternity list. Wallach will likely be stuck behind Bryan Holaday and will probably only be up for a short period of time, as Realmuto will be out for at most three games. |
|
| Apr 9 2018 | Wallach is not in the Marlins' lineup Monday against the Mets, Andre Fernandez of the Miami Herald reports. | Wallach has been the primary catcher for the Marlins while J.T. Realmuto (back) remains on the disabled list. Bryan Holaday will start at catcher Monday, the third time in four games that he's done so. Wallach could be losing his temporary starter role, though that likely won't have much fantasy impact; his light bat is irrelevant in most formats, and J.T. Realmuto is approximately ten days from returning. |
|
| Apr 5 2018 | Wallach is out of Thursday's lineup against the Phillies, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports. | He has been the de facto starter while J.T. Realmuto (back) has been on the disabled list, but should be an afterthought in the majority of fantasy formats. Wallach is 2-for-19 at the plate (.105 average) through five games. Bryan Holaday will start behind the dish and hit eighth. |
|
| Apr 2 2018 | Wallach went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's 6-0 win over the Cubs. | The 26-year-old catcher had a brutal start to the season, going 0-for-10 with eight strikeouts in his first two games, but Marlins manager Don Mattingly stuck with him and got rewarded for his patience Sunday. Wallach appears set to see regular duty behind the plate until J.T. Realmuto (back) is ready to come off the disabled list in a couple of weeks. |
|
| Mar 30 2018 | Wallach is catching and batting eighth Friday against the Cubs, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports. | Wallach was expected to back up Tomas Telis in the absence of injured starter J.T. Realmuto (back), but Wallach has now been named the starter for the opening two games of the season. Starting the right-handed Wallach over the switch-hitting Tomas Telis in the opener against Jon Lester could have been explained as simply a move to gain a platoon advantage, as Telis has hit poorly against lefties in his career. But Wallach remains in the lineup against the right-handed Kyle Hendricks, suggesting that it's he who is the interim starter. Regardless of the unexpected playing time, nothing in Wallach's profile suggests he'll be a significant fantasy asset, but in leagues deep enough to roster one of the Marlins' catchers, he appears to be the one to grab. |
|
| Mar 30 2018 | Wallach went 0-for-3 with a walk and three strikeouts in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Cubs. | Getting the start and hitting eighth, Wallach's Opening Day performance ended up being pretty forgettable. The 26-year-old may not get much of a chance to redeem himself -- the Marlins are carrying three catchers on the roster while they wait for J.T. Realmuto (back) to get healthy, and Tomas Telis and Bryan Holaday could easily see the rest of the starts until Realmuto comes off the disabled list. Wallach's minor-league track record doesn't suggest much fantasy upside even if he does see more action. |
|
| Mar 28 2018 | Wallach has earned a spot on the Marlins' Opening Day roster, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports. | With J.T. Realmuto (back) sent to the 10-day disabled list to begin the year, the Marlins have elected to keep three catchers on the Opening Day roster, with Tomas Telis and Bryan Holaday joining Wallach. Telis will likely serve as the primary catcher until Realmuto returns to the field. Over the course of six career games at the major-league level -- all coming last year with Cincinnati -- Wallach has gone 1-for-11 with five strikeouts at the dish. |
|
| Nov 3 2017 | Wallach was claimed off waivers by the Marlins on Friday, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports. | Wallach spent six games with the Reds in 2017, going 1-for-11 at the plate with five strikeouts during a limited opportunity in September. Moving ahead, he will serve as organizational depth for the Marlins, and will likely begin next season with Triple-A New Orleans. |
|
| Aug 31 2017 | Wallach was recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Thursday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. | Wallach was called up by the Reds to make his major league debut last weekend, but cashed in an 0-for-4 performance in his only start Sunday. With Tucker Barnhart landing on the paternity list Thursday morning, Wallach will return as an emergency catching option behind Stuart Turner. |
|
| Aug 25 2017 | Wallach was called up from Triple-A Louisville on Friday. | With Stuart Turner heading out on paternity leave, Wallach will come up to provide depth behind Tucker Barnhart at the catcher position. A fifth-round pick in 2013, Wallach has struggled to a .226/.280/.398 line at Louisville this season. He's already established a new career high with nine homers this year, but that power has come with a significant uptick in strikeouts. |
