Jun 23 2025 | O'Hoppe is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It appears to be a routine day off for O'Hoppe, who started at catcher in each of the previous two contests.

Jun 21 2025 | O'Hoppe went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Saturday's 9-1 win over the Astros. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: O'Hoppe sat both Thursday and Friday, and it appears that two-game stint on the bench helped him reset. The catcher hadn't posted a multi-hit effort in June prior to Saturday, and he hadn't hit a homer since May 22 versus the Athletics. He's now at a .233/.268/.462 slash line with 16 homers, 35 RBI, 24 runs scored, three doubles and no stolen bases over 63 contests. O'Hoppe is likely to maintain at least half of the playing time behind the dish, though his recent slump has allowed more opportunities for Travis d'Arnaud to check in. |

O'Hoppe is looking to build off a solid 2024 campaign in which he slashed .244/.303/.409 with 20 home runs and 56 RBI across 522 plate appearances, though he'll look to lower his 29.7 percent strikeout rate in 2025. |

|
Aug 14 2024 | O'Hoppe isn't in the Angels' lineup Wednesday against Toronto, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: O'Hoppe remains without a hit (0-for-28) over his last seven games, so he'll get a day to clear his head while Matt Thaiss fills catches for lefty Tyler Anderson and bats seventh. |

Lefty-hitting Matt Thaiss will step in behind the plate even with southpaw JP Sears starting for Oakland. O'Hoppe had started in each of the Angels' past 11 games.
