The Angels haven't specified how long the 26-year-old's assignment will last, but the expectation is still to have him back in the lineup by mid-to-late May.

Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Increasing activity
Rotowire
O'Hoppe (wrist) began catching off a machine, hitting on the field and running the bases Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
O'Hoppe seems to be making significant strides in his recovery from a wrist fracture he suffered in late April, though he said the biggest test will be catching full bullpen sessions and hitting against velocity. It's unknown when the Angels plan to advance him to that stage in his rehab, though the team still likely plans to bring him back before the end of the month. Travis d'Arnaud will continue to work as the primary catcher until then.

Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Hopeful for short IL stint
Rotowire
O'Hoppe said Monday that the fracture in his left wrist is small and he believes he will return from the injured list in a "couple of weeks," Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
O'Hoppe sustained the injury Saturday against the Royals after taking a foul ball off his exposed left wrist. X-Rays revealed a small fracture, but the 26-year-old catcher sounded optimistic that his stint on the IL will be a short one. O'Hoppe would be back in the lineup by mid-May if that timeline holds, but in the meantime, Travis d'Arnaud will serve as the Angels' primary catcher while Sebastian Rivero operates in the backup role.
The Angels placed O'Hoppe on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left wrist fracture.
O'Hoppe departed Saturday's game against the Royals after being struck by a foul tip behind the plate. The 26-year-old is without an official timeline for his return, but it seems likely he'll be sidelined beyond the 10-day minimum. Travis d'Arnaud should step in as the Halos' primary catcher while O'Hoppe is on the shelf. Sebastian Rivero was called up Sunday to take over the backup job.

Angels' Logan O'Hoppe: Not starting Sunday
Rotowire
O'Hoppe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
O'Hoppe has gone 3-for-11 with a run scored in the first three games of the season, but he's also struck out five times and committed three errors. Travis d'Arnaud will step in behind the plate to catch for righty Jack Kochanowicz.
O'Hoppe went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Sunday's Cactus League loss to the Athletics.
O'Hoppe accounted for half of the Angels' runs in the game with a two-run blast that traveled an estimated 413 feet in the fourth inning. The long ball was the backstop's third this spring and pushed his RBI total up to nine -- he leads the team in both categories. O'Hoppe posted a career-low .629 OPS over 451 plate appearances last season, but he still mashed 19 home runs and remains a good source of power from the catcher position.
O'Hoppe agreed to a one-year, $2.625 million contract with the Angels on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
It's the first year of arbitration eligibility for O'Hoppe, who has operated as the Angels' primary backstop the past two seasons. The 25-year-old will likely retain the role to begin 2026 but may need to improve upon his .629 OPS from last season to maintain the job all year.
