Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe was a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Astros. The 24-year-old whacked a pair of doubles and hit his 20th home run of the season, collecting an RBI and scoring twice in the process. The young backstop was due for a big day, having come into the contest 7-for-71 (.099) over his last 22 games. Prior to the All-Star break, it looked like O'Hoppe was in full breakout mode, slashing .276/.328/.472 in 83 games, but since then he's slashed .176/.243/.300 in 48 games. Still, his .239-20-56-60-2 line puts him in the Top 12 at the catcher position for fantasy.
Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe will take a seat in Sunday's series finale as the Angels hope to clinch a series victory against the Seattle Mariners. O'Hoppe started in the first two games of the series and will cede duties to Matt Thaiss, who will bat in the eight-hole. The St. John the Baptist HS product has held a .241/.298/.402 line this season with a career-high 17 home runs and 14 doubles. He has hit the ball quite hard at a strong 46.5% mark, placing him in the 79th percentile among qualified hitters. Fantasy managers should expect the 24-year-old backstop to return to the starting nine on Tuesday evening as the Angles play host to the Dodgers. DFS players should consider fading Thaiss this afternoon as he faces Mariners right-hander Bryce Miller who carries a solid 3.23 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP this season.
Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe (knee) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is good news for fantasy managers after O'Hoppe was forced to exit early on Monday due to a knee issue. It's nice to see O'Hoppe back in the lineup as sometimes knee issues having a tendency to linger. He'll handle the catching duties and bat third versus right-hander Kevin Gausman. O'Hoppe is in a bit of a slump right now as he's hitless during his last six games. He's not an ideal DFS option right now, but fantasy managers in season-long formats can get him back in their lineups on Tuesday.
Logan O'Hoppe Leaves Early On Monday With Knee Soreness
Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe (knee) was pulled from Monday's series opener against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays with right-knee soreness. Before leaving the eventual 4-2 loss, O'Hoppe was hitless in his two at-bats with one strikeout. He was replaced behind the dish by Matt Thaiss, who would become the Halos' regular catcher if O'Hoppe's knee injury is serious enough to cause him to miss significant time. For now, fantasy managers should consider him to be day-to-day and check back on Tuesday to see if he's feeling good enough to rejoin the starting lineup for Game 2 of the series against Toronto. O'Hoppe is fantasy relevant in all leagues and has been one of the team's few bright spots in a dismal 2024 season, as he was hitting .260/.320/.435 with a career-high 16 home runs and 46 RBI in 101 games entering Monday's contest in his second full big-league season. UPDATE: O'Hoppe should play on Tuesday, according to manager Ron Washington. The Angels removed O'Hoppe as a precaution.
Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a single Wednesday night in a 2-1 loss to the Colorado Rockies. Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland stymied all but O'Hoppe on the evening as he was the only one to muster up any offense. The home run was the catcher's 15th on the season which set a new career-high and that number will only keep climbing with two months left on the campaign. The 24-year-old is top five in batting average (.281) runs scored (47), hits (91), and home runs among catchers and top-10 in RBI (44). He has been excellent in every facet of the game this season. Assuming he keeps producing in every category and ends the season with around 25 home runs, he could be a potential top-five catcher off the board in fantasy drafts next season.
Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe will take a seat in the first game of the second half on Friday as the Angels open up a three-game set against the Oakland Athletics. The 24-year-old has only sat twice since June 13 and has held a strong .277/.330/.511 slash line in that span. As a result, Matt Thaiss will be behind the dish this evening and bat in the eight hole. O'Hoppe has solidified himself as one of the best options behind the plate in fantasy as he has posted a strong .276/..328/.472 slash line with 14 home runs and 42 RBI across 83 games this season. Thaiss could be a sneaky play in DFS this evening against Oakland southpaw JP Sears, who carries a hefty 4.56 ERA.
Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe put together a night to remember in Tuesday's loss versus the division-rival Texas Rangers. The backstop went 3-for-4 on the evening with two solo home runs. Despite the Angels' struggles, the 24-year-old has been one of the lone bright spots this season with a .282 batting average to go along with 14 homers and 42 RBI. The Angels lineup does not give O'Hoppe many opportunities to drive in runs, but outfielder Mike Trout's (knee) eventual return should help. Regardless, O'Hoppe has been putting up good enough numbers to be rostered in mixed leagues.
Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe homered for the second straight game, going 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Tigers. It was O'Hoppe's third homer in his last six games and 12th of the season. The 24-year-old now owns a .273-12-38-37-1 line on the season, putting him in the Top-5 at the position for fantasy scoring. The young backstop gave us a taste of his power potential last season when he hit 14 home runs in just 51 games on the back of a 15.6% Barrel%, and is well on his way to setting a new career high this season while maintaining an 11.2% Barrel%. After a slow May in which he batted .238, O'Hoppe has turned it on in June, hitting .319 this month.
Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe is getting the day off on Wednesday in the series finale against the visiting division-rival Oakland Athletics. Matt Thaiss will do the catching for right-hander Roansy Contreras and will bat ninth against A's right-hander Joey Estes. O'Hoppe will get a much-needed day of rest after starting in each of the team's last 11 contests. He has been hot at the plate in the month of June, going 19-for-61 (.312) with three home runs, six doubles, eight RBI, a stolen base and 13 runs scored in 18 games played to raise his season slash line to .269/.320/.457 with 10 home runs and 34 RBI in 234 at-bats. O'Hoppe is valuable in all fantasy formats at the shallow catching position. Thaiss, meanwhile, is a DFS option to avoid at the position with a .217 average (13-for-60) with only one homer in 2024.
Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe had a monster game Sunday, leading the Angels to a 9-7 win over the Houston Astros. O'Hoppe went 4-for-5 with three runs, two RBI, a stolen base, and a walk-off two-run homer off Josh Hader in the ninth. The 24-year-old has maintained a solid pace throughout this season, slashing .269/.322/.446 with 27 runs, eight homers, 28 RBI, and a stolen base. It's not a huge stat line, but for a catcher it's certainly better than average. He is a low-end option in one-catcher leagues but has the upside to become more.
