O'Hoppe is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

O'Hoppe isn't in the Angels' lineup for the team's first game coming out of the All-Star break. Lefty-hitting Matt Thaiss will step in behind the plate even with southpaw JP Sears starting for Oakland. O'Hoppe had started in each of the Angels' past 11 games. Per Erica Weston of Bally Sports West, the backstop had travel issues flying back to California following the break, but he's on the ground and is expected to be in uniform Friday off the bench.
