Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe homered for the second straight game, going 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Tigers. It was O'Hoppe's third homer in his last six games and 12th of the season. The 24-year-old now owns a .273-12-38-37-1 line on the season, putting him in the Top-5 at the position for fantasy scoring. The young backstop gave us a taste of his power potential last season when he hit 14 home runs in just 51 games on the back of a 15.6% Barrel%, and is well on his way to setting a new career high this season while maintaining an 11.2% Barrel%. After a slow May in which he batted .238, O'Hoppe has turned it on in June, hitting .319 this month.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Luis Castillo will start Sunday against the Twins in the series finale. With no announced starter for Sunday's game after Bryan Woo was placed on the IL, it was speculated that the Mariners would go with their recent call-up, Jhonathan Diaz. Diaz had made a start earlier this month for the Mariners, but instead, it will be Castillo. The 31-year-old has had a rough go of it lately, with just one quality start in his last four outings, but he did face the Twins once already this season with solid results. The righty went six-and-two-thirds innings, allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits and three walks while striking out seven.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (knee) is progressing from knee surgery, yet there remains no timetable for his return from the injured list. Trout said he is "feeling really good" and "relieved" as he is close to running and hitting in the cages. He is currently playing catch and jogging on the Alter-G Treadmill. Before being placed on the injured list on April 30, Trout slashed .220/.345/551 with 10 homers, 14 RBI, 17 runs scored, and six steals. He did say he would be "disappointed" if he isn't back by the end of July, something fantasy managers would feel in unison. Patience continues to be the watchword on Trout's actual return. Fantasy managers should continue to stash Trout in all leagues as the superstar outfielder aims for a July return.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (wrist) avoided serious injury to his left wrist after being hit by a pitch during Saturday's 6-5 loss at the Baltimore Orioles. Seager, who earlier hit his 15th homer in the first inning, left in the fifth after being hit by Orioles starter Cade Povich. X-rays proved negative, and the club will further re-evaluate Seager on Sunday. He is slashing .260/.345/.451 with 37 RBI and 34 runs scored with a .796 OPS. Seager is considered day-to-day and is expected to miss Sunday's series finale. Third baseman Josh Smith, who moved to short when Seager exited, will handle shortstop duties for the Rangers with Seager sidelined. Smith is slashing .293/.385/.459 over 78 games in 2024.
