Padres' Tim Lopes: Sent to minor-league camp
Lopes was reassigned to minor-league camp Sunday.
Lopes served as a non-roster invitee this spring and performed well in Cactus League play, but he was unable to land a spot on the Padres' Opening Day roster. After hitting .360 with a home run, nine RBI, eight runs and six stolen bases over 22 spring games this year, he should be in the mix to be called up if the Padres need depth at some point.

Padres' Tim Lopes: Putting up big spring numbers
Lopes is slashing .441/.462/.618 with a home run, eight RBI, eight runs and six stolen bases in Cactus League play, and he's in contention for one of the Padres' final roster spots, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Lopes hasn't done much as a major leaguer to this point in his career, slashing .246/.310/.352 with three homers and 11 steals over 290 career plate appearances. However, he's turning heads this spring with his standout play, as he's tied for third among all players in hits (15) and stolen bases (six). Lopes last played in the majors with Milwaukee in 2021, logging just 11 at-bats and notching one hit, but Acee suggests that he may have a chance to break camp with San Diego on the strength of his spring showing. He's likely in competition with Rougned Odor, Jose Azocar and David Dahl -- each of whom has been productive in exhibition play as well -- for what figures to be the two final spots on the Padres' bench.

Padres' Tim Lopes: Signs NRI with San Diego
Lopes, who signed a minor-league contract with the Padres in December, has received an invitation to big-league spring training.
Lopes was in the Rockies organization last season and couldn't battle his way above Triple-A Albuquerque. The 28-year-old outfielder is a career .246/.310/.352 hitter in 94 games (290 plate appearances) at the MLB level.

Rockies' Tim Lopes: Back to minors
Lopes was reassigned to minor league camp Wednesday.
Lopes spent the 2021 season with the Brewers organization, starting seven games at the big-league level and producing a .100/.182/.100 line across 11 plate appearances. He joined the Rockies in December and will begin the 2022 campaign with Triple-A Albuquerque. Lopes has seen his production at the MLB level decrease over the three seasons in which he's logged regular-season action.

Rockies' Tim Lopes: Heads to Colorado
Lopes has agreed to a minor-league deal with Colorado, according to the MLB transaction log.
Lopes spent the majority of the 2021 season with Triple-A Nashville as a member of the Brewers' organization. He hit only .223/.303/.398 across 370 plate appearances, though he played at every position on the diamond besides first base and catcher. That defensive versatility could lead to Lopes earning time in Colorado for limited stretches during the 2022 campaign.

The Brewers designated Lopes for assignment Wednesday.

Brewers' Tim Lopes: Back with big-league club
Lopes was recalled by Milwaukee from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.
Lopes has spent the majority of the season in Nashville, where he's hit just .223/.303/.404 across 356 plate appearances. However, he's able to play all over the field defensively, a positive with Avisail Garcia (back) currently sidelined. Luke Maile was optioned to Triple-A Nashville in the corresponding move.

Brewers' Tim Lopes: Called up from Triple-A
The Brewers recalled Lopes from Triple-A Nashville ahead of Saturday's 7-4 win over the Pirates.
Lopes was added to the 26-man active roster as a replacement for outfielder Tyrone Taylor (shoulder), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. The 26-year-old Lopes will likely fill a utility role while he's up with the big club. He came off the bench Saturday to play second base, going 1-for-2 with a base hit in his Milwaukee debut.

Brewers' Tim Lopes: Reinstated, optioned
Lopes (oblique) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.
Lopes had been with Triple-A Nashville on a rehab assignment since May 11, and he'll remain with the minor-league club now that he's fully healthy. The 26-year-old has slashed .236/.328/.382 with two home runs and nine RBI in 14 minor-league games this year. He could return to the Brewers as a utility option at some point in 2021.

Brewers' Tim Lopes: Moving rehab to Triple-A
Lopes (oblique) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Since Milwaukee placed Lopes on the 60-day injured list during spring training, he won't be eligible for activation until late May. At this point, Lopes seems to have moved past the right oblique strain that slowed him at the Brewers camp in Arizona, but he'll still need several minor-league games to get his timing right at the plate. Whenever he's reinstated from the IL, Lopes will likely serve as a utility player for Milwaukee, assuming he isn't optioned off the active roster.

Brewers' Tim Lopes: Plays in rehab game
Lopes (oblique) will play in an exhibition game for Double-A Biloxi on Monday, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Lopes is on the 60-day injured list, meaning he won't be eligible to return to the active roster until the end of May. That apparently overstates how injured he actually is, however, as he's ready for game action nearly six weeks before he's eligible to return.

Brewers' Tim Lopes: Lands on 60-day injured list
The Brewers placed Lopes on the 60-day injured list Monday with a right oblique strain, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Lopes' move to the 60-day IL means that he won't be eligible to make his Brewers debut until at least late May. The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the newly-signed Jackie Bradley.

Brewers' Tim Lopes: Claimed by Brewers
Lopes was claimed off waivers by the Brewers on Tuesday.
Lopes' primary asset is his versatility, as he's appeared at second, third and both outfielder corners in his 87 career big-league games. His .252/.315/.362 career slash line is adequate enough for a bench option given that versatility, but it's unlikely to be enough to make him an interesting fantasy option if he winds up with unexpected playing time. He does at least have decent speed, however, stealing 11 career bases, which gives him at least a bit of fantasy value.

Mariners' Tim Lopes: Designated for assignment
Lopes was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Friday, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.
The Mariners officially signed right-hander Chris Flexen on Friday, and Lopes was removed from the 40-man roster in a corresponding move. Lopes' slash line dropped slightly in 2020, as he hit .238/.278/.364 with two home runs, 15 RBI and five stolen bases over 46 games. However, his removal from the 40-man roster still comes as a bit of a surprise, and he could certainly find a role with another team on waivers.

He's hitting .245/.286/.374 with two homers, 15 RBI, 16 runs scored and five stolen bases in 45 games this year.
