Logan O’Hoppe DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

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.
