O'Hoppe isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

Mike Trout CF | LAA
Angels' Mike Trout: Back in lineup Tuesday
Trout (hand) will start in center field and bat second Tuesday against Atlanta.
Trout took a day off Monday to recover after getting hit on the hand by a pitch Sunday, but he's now feeling well enough to return to the starting nine. The 34-year-old has gone just 1-for-20 with nine strikeouts over his last six games, but he still owns an .859 OPS for the season.

Josh Jung 3B | TEX
Rangers' Josh Jung: Not starting Tuesday
Jung is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.
Despite going 2-for-3 during Monday's series opener versus Seattle, Jung will sit Tuesday for the second time in Texas' past three games. He's struggled to get on track this year with a .188 average (6-for-32) through nine games, and he's still in search of his first extra-base hit. Ezequiel Duran will step in at third base and bat ninth.

Brandon Lockridge OF | MIL
Brewers' Brandon Lockridge: Rejoining lineup Tuesday
Lockridge (hip) is starting in left field and batting leadoff Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Christian Yelich DH | MIL
Brewers' Christian Yelich: Getting Tuesday off
Yelich is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.
Yelich started the previous seven games and posted four multi-hit performances during that stretch, but he'll take a seat Tuesday as Boston sends out ace lefty Garrett Crochet. Luis Matos is instead batting sixth as the designated hitter for Milwaukee.

Cade Horton P | CHC
Cubs' Cade Horton: Set for season-ending UCL surgery
Horton will undergo season-ending surgery on his right UCL, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Horton had to be lifted from his last outing with a right forearm strain, and subsequent testing revealed the need to have his UCL repaired. Whether he needs a full Tommy John repair or a less invasive internal brace surgery won't be known until the operation is performed. Even if it's the latter, Horton will be shelved for all of 2026 and likely the beginning of the 2027 campaign, as well.

Josh Fleming RP | TOR
Blue Jays' Josh Fleming: Pushed off 40-man roster
The Blue Jays designated Fleming for assignment Tuesday.
Toronto will continue to churn the final spot in its bullpen, as Fleming was dropped from the 40-man roster just one day after long reliever Austin Voth was DFA'd to clear a spot for him. The veteran lefty was unlikely to be available for at least a couple of days after he worked in long relief in his Blue Jays debut during Monday's 14-2 loss to the Dodgers, covering three innings while yielding four earned runs on six hits and two walks.
