Logan O'Hoppe Provides Update on Shoulder Injury

O'Hoppe could be out for a couple of games

Toward the end of the game against the New York Yankees, Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe injured his shoulder. O'Hoppe immediately grabbed his left shoulder and fell to the ground in pain as he singled to left. 

The young catcher spoke to the media afterward and said he would be evaluated in the next few days. 

Logan O’Hoppe said he’ll be evaluated in the next couple days. He said he doesn’t know if he’ll be unable to play or if he’ll be seeing a specific specialist.

The same thing happened in Boston. He’s not sure if there’s a dislocation of his shoulder.

O'Hoppe also discussed his frustrations with the injury. 

Logan O'Hoppe: "The hardest part is that you do everything the past year or so, so this wouldn't happen. But you hope it's nothing too serious."

"The hardest part is that you do everything the past year or so, so this wouldn't happen. But you hope it's nothing too serious."

O'Hoppe was fantastic in the series finale against New York, going 3-for-4 with two RBIs. Overall, Logan has brought new life to the Halos behind the plate, and has been playing like an All-Star through 19 games. 

Angels insider Sam Blum also presented a scenario on if Logan goes to the injured list. 

If O'Hoppe does need to go on the IL:

Chad Wallach was on the taxi squad at the beginning of this series after O'Hoppe felt something on Mon. I imagine he'll go w/ the team to Anaheim, & would join the roster if O'Hoppe needs to miss any time. There's an open spot on the 40-man.

Angel fans every where hope that isn't the case and he's only out for a few days at most.
