"O'Hoppe sustained the injury in the top of the fourth inning on a pitch in the dirt from starter Jack Kochanowicz. The pitch ricocheted off O'Hoppe's left wrist, and he was visited by trainers after the play. O'Hoppe remained in the game through the fifth inning before being replaced by Sebastián Rivero behind the plate."
"O'Hoppe just returned tonight from a nearly three week absence due to a left wrist fracture. According to manager Kurt Suzuki (via Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com), O'Hoppe was removed from the game as a precaution and did not require post-game X-rays. That bodes well for his wrist health, though it wouldn't be unreasonable for the Angels to hold O'Hoppe out of the lineup tomorrow anyway."
"The 26-year-old is LA's clear top choice behind the plate, with Travis d'Arnaud (currently on the injured list) as his usual backup. Meanwhile, Rivero has a 15 wRC+ in 134 scattered plate appearances from 2021-26, so he would be unplayable as a starter if O'Hoppe went on the IL again."
"For his part, O'Hoppe says his left wrist is "just uncomfortable" (link via Michael Huntley of the Orange County Register). "It's uncomfortable walking around. It's uncomfortable doing anything but we'll treat it and keep going," O'Hoppe said after the game. That may give cause for optimism among Angels fans, though the club will continue to monitor the situation in the coming days."
Logan O'Hoppe left a game against the Dodgers with left wrist irritation after a pitch in the dirt ricocheted off his left wrist in the top of the fourth inning. Trainers visited him after the play, and he remained in the game through the fifth inning before being replaced by Sebastián Rivero behind the plate. O'Hoppe had recently returned from a nearly three-week absence caused by a left wrist fracture. He was removed as a precaution and did not require post-game X-rays, which suggests no immediate worsening. O'Hoppe described the wrist as uncomfortable but manageable, and the team planned to monitor him closely. Cal Raleigh also received an injury update, with a week-long shutdown for a right oblique strain.
