Logan O'Hoppe SMASHES a home run into left field to give the Angels a 2-1 lead over the Mariners

JULY 27, 2023 • FOX SPORTS

Optimism about 2023 return Angels manager Phil Nevin said Wednesday that O'Hoppe (shoulder) is trending toward a return before the end of the season, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact O'Hoppe's return in 2023 has been considered up in the air since he had surgery in late April to repair a torn labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder. He's progressed well, though, going through catching drills Wednesday after starting to hit off a tee over the weekend. Late August has previously been mentioned as a best-case scenario for O'Hoppe's activation, but there remains no clear timeline.

Hits off tee Saturday O'Hoppe (shoulder) hit off a tee Saturday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact O'Hoppe began taking dry swings on July 4 and has now taken another step forward. A return before the end of August is considered a best-case scenario for the rookie catcher, although it's possible the Angels will hold him out for the rest of the season if they're not in playoff contention. O'Hoppe is coming back from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder.

10 MLB storylines to track in second half of 2023 season

Takes dry swings O'Hoppe (shoulder) took 25 dry swings Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact It's the first time he's swung a bat since he underwent surgery in late April to repair a torn labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder. O'Hoppe said afterward that it felt "really good. I didn't feel I needed to baby anything... Taking the training wheels off today." There's a chance he could return before the end of the season, with late August being a best-case scenario. O'Hoppe has plenty of hoops to jump through, though, and where the Angels are in the playoff hunt at the time could also factor into their plans for the young catcher.

Begins baseball activity O'Hoppe (shoulder) began lightly throwing Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact O'Hoppe said in April that he hopes to return to the field before the end of the season, and this appears to be a step toward that goal. It should be noted, however, that O'Hoppe injured his non-throwing shoulder and also wasn't catching the return throws Wednesday, so clearly he still has a long way to go in his recovery process.

Moves to 60-day IL O'Hoppe (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Impact The rookie catcher said earlier this week that he hopes to be able to return on the early end of his 4-to-6 month timeline, so there's a chance we see him in September. Matt Thaiss is the top Angels catcher to roster right now, with Max Stassi (hip) due back sometime in May.

APRIL 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hopes to return in 2023 O'Hoppe (shoulder) underwent surgery Tuesday and said he hopes to be able to return on the early end of his 4-to-6 month timeframe, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact O'Hoppe was diagnosed with a torn labrum in his left shoulder last week. The rookie catcher was off to a strong start before the injury, slashing .283/.339/.547 with four homers and 13 RBI over 59 plate appearances. O'Hoppe has a chance to return late this season, but he's a tough hold in redraft leagues given his lengthy recovery period.

APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoing surgery Tuesday O'Hoppe (shoulder) is set to undergo surgery on his torn labrum Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact O'Hoppe is expected to miss 4-go-6 months after being diagnosed with the tear over the weekend. The 23-year-old could return to the Angels before the end of the season, but is just as likely -- if not more so -- to not return to the Angels in 2024.

APRIL 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out 4-6 months with torn labrum O'Hoppe was diagnosed with a torn labrum in his left shoulder Sunday and is expected to face a 4-to-6 month recovery after undergoing surgery, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 23-year-old suffered the injury Thursday against the Yankees on an awkward swing, and he's now poised to miss most, if not the entirety, of the rest of the 2023 season. It's a horrible break for O'Hoppe and the Angels, as he was off to a strong start to his rookie campaign with a .283/.339/.547 slash line and four home runs in 16 games. Max Stassi (hip) is also still on the injured list, leaving Matt Thaiss and Chad Wallach to handle catching duties for the Halos.

APRIL 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on IL with shoulder injury O'Hoppe was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder injury by the Angels on Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact O'Hoppe left Thursday's game against the Yankees after an awkward swing attempt in the ninth inning. The backstop will sit for at least 10 days while he recovers while Chad Wallach is coming up from Triple-A Salt Lake to take O'Hoppe's place on the roster.

APRIL 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

To be evaluated further O'Hoppe (shoulder) will be evaluated in the next couple of days after exiting Thursday's matchup against the Yankees, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact O'Hoppe exited the game after an awkward swing in the ninth inning. He spoke to reporters after the contest but was unsure of any specific details regarding the nature of his injury or how much additional game action he may be forced to miss.

APRIL 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves with shoulder injury O'Hoppe was pulled from Thursday's game against the Yankees after appearing to injure his left shoulder, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact O'Hoppe immediately grabbed at his upper left arm after getting spun around on a pitch in the top of the ninth inning. He managed to make contact for a single and scampered to first base before jogging off the field with a look of frustration. The 23-year-old catcher finished 3-for-4 with two RBI on the day and boasts an .886 OPS through 59 plate appearances this season with the Angels.

Logan O'Hoppe returns to Yankee Stadium five years after catching homer as a fan

Gets day of rest Wednesday O'Hoppe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

Impact O'Hoppe will sit out the series finale against Jhony Brito and the Yankees on Wednesday. Matt Thaiss will handle the catching duties and hit eighth.

APRIL 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Getting breather Saturday O'Hoppe is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Red Sox.

Impact Matt Thaiss will catch and bat ninth with right-hander Nick Pivetta on the mound for Boston. O'Hoppe, 23, has slashed .231/.279/.564 with four home runs and 11 RBI through 11 games this season.

APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes deep again O'Hoppe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Tuesday in a 2-0 win against Washington.

Impact Offense was sparse in the contest, and O'Hoppe provided half of the Angels' runs with his 414-foot solo shot in the sixth inning. The long ball was his fourth of the campaign, putting him atop the leaderboard among MLB catchers. Three of O'Hoppe's homers have come over his past five games, and he's knocked in four runs over that span.

APRIL 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Blasts another homer O'Hoppe went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Sunday in a 10-inning loss to Toronto.

Impact O'Hoppe gave the Angels what appeared to be a secure six-run lead with his 424-foot solo shot in the fourth inning. The rookie backstop has taken advantage of near-everyday playing time that became available when Max Stassi (hip) opened the campaign on the injured list, as he is tied for the team lead with nine RBI. Among big-league catchers, O'Hoppe is tied with Will Smith for the lead in homers with three on the campaign.

APRIL 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Slugs second homer O'Hoppe went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 4-3 win over Seattle on Wednesday.

Impact O'Hoppe's lone hit of the game was a big one, as his two-run homer in the second inning gave the Angels a lead that they did not relinquish. The rookie catcher has gone deep twice in his past three games, displaying the type of power that helped him hit 26 homers in the minors last season. Max Stassi (hip) could return from the injured list in less than 10 days, but O'Hoppe's strong start to the campaign may help him remain the team's primary backstop even when that happens.

APRIL 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Getting breather Tuesday O'Hoppe is not in the Angels' starting lineup Tuesday night against the Mariners.

Impact Matt Thaiss will start at catcher and bat eighth versus the Mariners and ace right-hander Luis Castillo. O'Hoppe stands 4-for-14 (.286) with one homer and six RBI through four games played this season.

Belts first big-league homer O'Hoppe went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in a 6-0 victory against Oakland on Sunday.

Impact O'Hoppe broke a scoreless tie in the top of the fourth inning with a 391-foot, three-run shot off Ken Waldichuk. The blast was his first long ball as a big-leaguer, and it extended his streak of games to begin the season with at least one RBI to three. The rookie catcher was originally slated to begin the campaign in the minors, but Max Stassi's hip injury and consequent placement on the IL has resulted in O'Hoppe starting all three games for the Angels so far. He's seized the opportunity, going 4-for-10 with six RBI through 11 plate appearances.

APRIL 3, 2023 • LATIMES.COM

Starting in Opening Day game Angels manager Phil Nevin said O'Hoppe will be the team's starting catcher in Thursday's season opener in Oakland, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Less than a week ago, O'Hoppe looked as though he would open the season at Triple-A Salt Lake, but Max Stassi's (hip) move to the injured list has not only freed up a spot on the Opening Day roster for the 23-year-old backstop, but also a perhaps a temporary run as the Angels' No. 1 catcher. Nevin hasn't outlined how he plans to divvy up the starts at catcher between O'Hoppe and Matt Thaiss while Stassi is out, but given that the 27-year-old Thaiss owns an unremarkable .291 wOBA over 278 career MLB plate appearances and is coming off a poor spring at the plate, the Angels may be motivated to give the younger prospect a chance to prove he belongs in the majors. On the heels of a poor season at the dish, Stassi likely didn't have much job security prior to getting hurt, so if gets off to a hot start, O'Hoppe could hold down the No. 1 gig for good even after Stassi returns to full health.
