Top Los Angeles Angels prospect Logan O'Hoppe will start at catcher for the club on Opening Day.

Max Stassi, who was the probable starting catcher for the Angels, was placed on the injured list Wednesday with hip soreness.

O'Hoppe, 23, will catch Shohei Ohtani in Thursday's opener against the Oakland A's.

O'Hoppe was acquired in last year's trade that sent outfielder Brandon Marsh to the Philadelphia Phillies.
