Max Stassi - C - Astros

Max Stassi had sports hernia surgery on Thursday.

Stassi is hoping to be recovered by the start of the minor league season, but that's not a sure thing. The 21-year-old catcher batted .268/.331/.468 with 15 home runs and 45 RBI in 84 games last season at High-A Stockton. He should make the jump to Double-A sometime in 2013.

Max Stassi - C - Astros

Astros acquired C Max Stassi from the Athletics in a five-player trade.

Stassi, who will turn 22 next month, batted .268/.331/.468 with 15 homers at the High-A level last season. He has above-average power for a catcher and could eventually be the Astros' regular backstop. He's obviously not close to being big league-ready, though.

Max Stassi - C - Astros

Max Stassi reached five times for Single-A Stockton on Tuesday, finishing 3-for-3 with a double and two walks.

Stassi disappointed in hitting .229/.310/.380 with 141 strikeouts in 411 at-bats for low Single-A Kane County last year, but he still has some promise offensively. He's opened this year 7-for-19 with just two strikeouts through five games.

Max Stassi - C - Astros

Athletics prospect catcher Max Stassi exited Tuesday's game against the Rangers due to a right knee contusion.

Stassi suffered the injury in the top of the ninth inning after being hit by a foul ball. It happened just two innings after the 18-year-old hit his first home run. "The baseball gods are funny like that," said the young backstop. Stassi believes he'll be out of action for about a week, so the next time he'll get work will likely be in minor league camp. The Athletics selected Stassi in the fourth-round of last year's draft.
