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.
Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe went 2-for-4 with a home run in Friday's 10-4 loss to the Guardians. The homer was his fifth of the season, his second in the last three games, and it was the third multi-hit performance in his last five. The 24-year-old has been solid this season, posting a .263-5-24-19-0 line with a .325 wOBA and 109 wRC+. He sits right around the Top-12 for fantasy at the catcher position, although managers hoping for a true breakout have been underwhelmed so far after the backstop belted 14 home runs in just 182 at-bats with a 15.6% Barrel% last season (152 AB, 8.8% Barrel% in '24).
Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe is getting a breather on Wednesday in the series finale against the Astros in Houston. Matt Thaiss will do the catching for left-hander Tyler Anderson and will hit sixth in the batting order versus Astros right-hander Hunter Brown. With a scheduled off day coming for the Halos on Thursday, expect O'Hoppe to be back in action on Friday for a series opener back at home against the visiting Cleveland Guardians. The 24-year-old backstop has been solid offensively for the Angels so far this year, slashing .257/.317/.392 with four home runs, 22 RBI and 18 runs scored in 148 at-bats. Thaiss, a former first-rounder, has gone just 7-for-35 (.200) with no homers and three RBI in limited playing time as the backup to O'Hoppe in 2024.
Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe had a nice day at the plate in Tuesday's 9-0 win over the Pirates. O'Hoppe went 4-for-5 with four singles and two RBI. The 24-year-old backstop has put together a decent offensive campaign so far and is now slashing .279/.330/.404 with two home runs and 13 RBI in 113 plate appearances.
Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe (hand) is back behind the dish and is hitting fifth for the Angels on Monday against the Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Mitch Keller. O'Hoppe left the game on Saturday early against the Cleveland Guardians after taking a foul tip off his right hand, but X-rays came back negative and he will end up missing only one game as a result. Fantasy managers that have been rolling with the 24-year-old will want to get him back into their starting lineups this week. O'Hoppe will return to a .260/.317/.396 slash line with two home runs in his 29 games played so far in 2024. This will be the first time in his career that he's faced Keller.
Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe (hand) is not in the team's starting lineup on the road in Cleveland on Sunday against the Guardians. Unsurprisingly, O'Hoppe will begin the game on the bench after leaving Saturday's loss with a right-hand contusion. Matt Thaiss will catch right-hander Griffin Canning in the series finale and will bat sixth against Guardians right-hander Carlos Carrasco. For now, fantasy managers will want to consider O'Hoppe day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener in Pittsburgh against the Pirates. The 24-year-old backstop is off to a decent start in 2024, hitting .260/.317/.396 with two homers and 11 RBI in 96 at-bats. Thaiss, a former first-rounder in 2016 out of Virginia, doesn't have a homer yet in 24 at-bats this year but isn't a bad low-cost DFS option at the position for Sunday's slate of games.
