O'Hoppe will be making his Rangers debut against his former Angels squad, after he was traded in late July and subsequently optioned to Round Rock, where he slashed .292/.386/.556 with three home runs over 84 plate appearances. Though he'll serve as the DH on Sunday, he's not expected to be anything more than a short-side platoon option at that spot. O'Hoppe will primarily be vying with Danny Jansen for playing time behind the dish.

O'Hoppe had been losing playing time with the Angels to Tyler Heineman, and the former will now find a new home with the Rangers, who are currently navigating injuries to Danny Jansen (forearm) and Kyle Higashioka (forearm). O'Hoppe's offensive output has taken a step back this season, as he's slashing just .209/.271/.295 with four homers, 23 RBI and 20 runs scored through 256 plate appearances, so the Rangers will send him down to Triple-A Round Rock to right the ship, per Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News. If O'Hoppe rediscovers his swing in the minors, he could be brought back up to the majors later this year.
