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.

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 (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.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: Angels PR

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.
