Angels' O'Hoppe Out After Head Injury, Status Day-to-Day

Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe was removed from Monday night's game against the New York Yankees after being struck in the head by a backswing, with the team taking precautionary measures. Manager Ron Washington stated that O'Hoppe felt fine and wanted to continue playing, but the team decided to monitor him further, labeling him day-to-day and planning additional medical evaluation, including a brain scan. O'Hoppe will miss at least Tuesday's game as a result. In anticipation of a possible roster move, the Angels have brought Triple-A catcher Chuckie Robinson into the clubhouse as a precaution. O'Hoppe has emerged as a key offensive contributor this season, slashing .267/.299/.533 with 14 home runs, making his potential absence significant. The team's plans will depend on the outcome of ongoing medical assessments.
