White Sox's Nicky Lopez: Managing adductor issue
Lopez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox and is dealing with adductor soreness, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Manager Pedro Grifol indicated Lopez could have played through the issue, but the skipper decided to provide a day off. The 29-year-old should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener in Tampa Bay. Braden Shewmake is manning the keystone while Bryan Ramos starts at third base Sunday.

White Sox's Nicky Lopez: Gets breather Wednesday
Lopez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.
Lopez's streak of six consecutive starts will come to an end Wednesday as White Sox manager Pedro Grifol gives the second baseman the afternoon off in a day game after a night game. Braden Shewmake will spell Lopez at the keystone, while designated hitter Robbie Grossman takes over as the White Sox's leadoff hitter.

White Sox's Nicky Lopez: Swipes first bag
Lopez went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base Saturday against the Rays.
Lopez has at least one hit in six straight starts, and even as the White Sox's primary leadoff hitter, that's translated to only three runs scored. He also managed his first successful stolen base of the season after having been caught on four previous occasions. Through 85 plate appearances, Lopez has offered very little at the dish by maintaining a .219 batting average and by tallying only one extra-base hit.

White Sox's Nicky Lopez: Sits Wednesday
Lopez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.
Lopez will get a breather after starting each of the last nine games, with the last four coming as the White Sox's leadoff hitter. Danny Mendick will replace Lopez at the keystone and set the table for Chicago on Wednesday.

White Sox's Nicky Lopez: Hit in loss
Lopez went 1-for-2 in a 2-1 win over Kansas City on Wednesday.
It's been a difficult start to the season for the 29-year-old, as Lopez's slash line sits at .167/.255/.167 through 49 plate appearances. The infielder has yet to tally an extra-base hit and he's been a liability on the rare occasions that he's gotten on base, having been thrown out four times this season without a successful steal. He signed a one-year, $4.3 million contract with the White Sox this offseason largely for his defense, but Lopez will need to add something on the offensive side of the ball if he wants to keep seeing regular playing time.

White Sox's Nicky Lopez: Inefficient on basepaths early
Lopez went 0-for-2 with a walk and was caught stealing Monday against Atlanta.
Lopez has started four of the White Sox's first five games, hitting in the bottom third of the order. He's reached base just twice in 10 plate appearances, though he has attempted a stolen base on each occasion. While that aggressiveness would be a potential boost to his fantasy value, he's been caught both times.

White Sox's Nicky Lopez: Working exclusively at second base
Lopez has worked exclusively at second base early in spring training, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Lopez has worked evenly at second base and shortstop throughout his big-league career, but the White Sox are having him focus on the latter position for the time being. Van Schouwen reports that the club envisions him and Paul DeJong as the pairing in the middle infield this season, though Lopez could still lose playing time against lefties. Since a solid 2021 campaign, his performance has slipped considerably, and he posted just a .231/.236/.307 line across 262 plate appearances in 2023.

White Sox's Nicky Lopez: Agrees to terms
Lopez agreed to a one-year, $4.3 million deal with the White Sox on Thursday, avoiding arbitration, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Lopez, who is an excellent defensive infielder, is expected to play somewhat regularly in the middle infield early this season, which will help Chicago's pitching staff even if it doesn't help the offense much. Once Colson Montgomery gets the call, one of Lopez or Paul DeJong will presumably move to a bench role.

White Sox's Nicky Lopez: Brings versatility to Sox
Lopez was traded from Atlanta to the White Sox on Thursday along with Michael Soroka (forearm), Jared Shuster, Braden Shewmake and Riley Gowens in exchange for Aaron Bummer.
Lopez was dealt for the second time in the last five months as Atlanta looks to clear space on its 40-man roster. After handling a full-time role in 2021 and 2022, Lopez served primarily as a bench bat in 2023 and maintained only a .632 OPS. While he's shown stolen base upside in the past, Lopez managed only six steals across 262 plate appearances last season, though he could see an uptick in playing time with his new club given his ability to play across the infield.

Braves' Nicky Lopez: Back on bench in Albies' return
Lopez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.
After three consecutive starts at the keystone, Lopez will shift back to the bench for Monday's series opener. He'll likely find himself in a lightly-used utility role moving forward after Atlanta brought Ozzie Albies (hamstring) back from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Braves' Nicky Lopez: Heads to bench Wednesday
Lopez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.
Lopez will join fellow left-handed hitter Eddie Rosario on the bench for the series finale while the Mets bring southpaw Jose Quintana to the hill. Vaughn Grissom will cover second base in place of Lopez, who has produced a pair of base hits in both of his last two starts.

Braves' Nicky Lopez: Hits bench versus lefty
Lopez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.
Lopez appears to have taken over as Atlanta's primary second baseman since Ozzie Albies (hamstring) landed on the injured list last week. While starting each of the past six games, Lopez went 5-for-17 with two walks, three RBI, one run and one stolen base. Each of those starts came against right-handed pitching, but the lefty-hitting Lopez will retreat to the bench Monday in favor of Vaughn Grissom while Atlanta opposes southpaw David Peterson.

Braves' Nicky Lopez: Another start at second base
Lopez will start at second base and bat ninth Tuesday against the Yankees.
Atlanta will ride the hot hand with Lopez, who went 3-for-4 with three RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's win over New York. Vaughn Grissom should also get some starts at second while Ozzie Albies (hamstring) is on the shelf, though Lopez may be the preferred option versus right-handed pitching.

Braves' Nicky Lopez: Three hits, steal in win
Lopez went 3-for-4 with three RBI, a run scored and a steal in Monday's victory over the Yankees.
Lopez has been on a tear since joining Atlanta, going 7-for-10 with eight RBI through his first four games. Overall, he's slashing .241/.342/.329 with one homer, 24 runs scored, 21 RBI and five steals across 200 plate appearnces between Atlanta and Kansas City. While Lopez has mainly played a utlity role with Atlanta so far, he could see an extended run at second base with Ozzie Albies (hamstring) going on the IL.

Braves' Nicky Lopez: Makes most of Saturday's start
Lopez went 4-for-6 with a double, a home run, three runs scored and five RBI in a 21-3 rout of the Mets during the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.
Getting the start at shortstop and batting ninth, Lopez not only socked his first homer of the season in the ninth inning off Danny Mendick, he took the mound himself in the bottom of the frame and walked a batter over a scoreless inning of relief. Lopez's only other action so far for Atlanta since being acquired at the trade deadline was an appearance as a pinch runner Tuesday, so despite this impressive effort, at-bats will likely be few and far between down the stretch for the 28-year-old infielder.

Braves' Nicky Lopez: Dealt to Atlanta
Lopez was traded from Kansas City to Atlanta on Sunday in exchange for Taylor Hearn.
Lopez recorded double-digit steals in the past two seasons, but he's had a slow start to the 2023 campaign, hitting .210 with 18 runs, 13 RBI and four steals over 67 games. The 28-year-old has defensive versatility that makes him a solid utility man, but he'll likely need to contribute more at the plate if he hopes to carve out playing time with a contending Atlanta club.
