Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe is getting the night off on Tuesday evening when the Angels continue a series against the Tampa Bay Rays. O'Hoppe has started in each of the past four contests. During this stretch, he tallied eight total hits and went deep in each. He brought in eight runs and scored four. With O'Hoppe sitting out, veteran Travis d'Arnaud will get the nod behind the dish and bat in the six-hole. Fantasy managers should expect O'Hoppe to return to the starting nine on Wednesday when they face Rays right-hander Ryan Pepiot. Fantasy managers should continue to view O'Hoppe as a must-start No. 1 catcher in all formats, especially given his power surge. d'Arnaud is best to fade in DFS this evening, facing Shane Baz, who did not allow a run in his first start.
Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Guardians. This was his fourth straight game with a homer, and he is now slashing .345/.367/.862 with five homers in seven games this year. He put his power on full display during his rookie season in 2024, hitting 20 long balls in 136 games. That type of power potential is rare for catchers, and now it looks like the former top prospect is taking another step forward. He is a must-start fantasy catcher in all formats going forward.
Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 8-6 loss to the Guardians. The home run came off Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase and was his third of the season, now hitting .250 with six RBI and three runs scored in five games, but with an ugly 38.1 percent K% (1:8 BB:K). The 25-year-old is coming off a 20-home run campaign, but the batting average and counting stats leave much to be desired, however, he still finished as a top-10 catcher last season. If he draws the start on Saturday, the 6-foot-3 backstop will go up against Cleveland's Tanner Bibee, who he is 1-for-9 off of lifetime with a double, a walk, and three strikeouts, so there are likely better DFS plays.
Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe turned in a big day in a 12-5 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday. O'Hoppe went 1-for-4 with a grand slam and a strikeout in the losing effort. The veteran catcher gave the Angels a brief 5-3 lead with his seventh-inning homer with the bases loaded, but the Los Angeles bullpen was unable to hold onto it. O'Hoppe is now hitting .188 with two homers, two runs, and five RBI through 16 at-bats in the early going. After he showed some power in 2024 with 20 homers, O'Hoppe seems to be picking up where he left off in the power department, although fantasy managers would like to see him raise his batting average a bit.
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.
