The Angels selected O'Hoppe's contract Wednesday from Double-A Rocket City. He will start at catcher against Oakland and bat eighth, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
The 22-year-old backstop has recorded a .961 OPS in Double-A this year and will get his first taste of major-league action as the 2022 season nears its end. It's possible he could remain the Angels' top option at catcher heading into 2023, considering how uninspiring Matt Thaiss and Max Stassi have been behind the plate this season.
