Overview

• O’Hoppe was struck on the chin by Oakland shortstop Jacob Wilson’s warm-up backswing in the top of the seventh inning and left the game immediately.
• Montgomery described the contact as unintentional and said Wilson was apologetic.
• The catcher was taken for further evaluation as the Angels follow concussion procedures, and his availability hinges on test results.
• Los Angeles beat the Athletics 4–3 to halt a three-game slide, with Travis d’Arnaud delivering a go-ahead ground-rule double in the eighth and Kenley Jansen recording the save.
• The incident follows a separate head contact O’Hoppe sustained in May, heightening concern as the club proceeds with caution.
