The Rangers recalled O'Hoppe from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.
O'Hoppe will rejoin the Rangers for the final weekend of the regular season to give the team a bat to replace Josh Jung, who landed on the IL with a fractured hand Saturday. O'Hoppe has posted just a .578 OPS in 274 plate appearances in the big leagues this year and isn't likely to see much playing time to close out the season.

Rangers' Logan O'Hoppe: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rangers optioned O'Hoppe to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.
Since joining the Rangers on Aug. 23, O'Hoppe has gone 6-for-17 with an RBI and five runs scored across 10 games. Despite making the most of his limited opportunities, he'll be squeezed off the Rangers' bench to make room on the active roster for Josh Jung (calf), who returned from the injured list Saturday. O'Hoppe is likely to play out the remainder of the season at Triple-A.

Rangers' Logan O'Hoppe: Recalled, serving as DH on Sunday
Rotowire
The Rangers recalled O'Hoppe from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday. He'll start at designated hitter and bat seventh in the series finale versus the Angels.
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.
Rangers' Logan O'Hoppe: Traded to Rangers, sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Angels traded O'Hoppe and Chase Silseth to the Rangers on Wednesday in exchange for minor-league infielder Angel Arredondo, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
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.
