Fantasy Analysis
This is a pretty significant development for one of the A's top prospects. Stassi wasn't expected to be rushed through the minors with Kurt Suzuki under contract for the next few years, but now this injury could even further delay his arrival to the majors. Shoulder injuries are nothing to mess around with, so Oakland will be cautious with the player it considers the future behind the plate. Stassi remains just a long-term Fantasy keeper.
