Fantasy Impact:
Lopez’s release Friday from the Cubs, after being excluded from their domestic opener lineup, sets the veteran infielder loose to join a new team. The 30-year-old’s next stop is TBD. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues might stash him, hoping his versatile glove and contact skills land him a utility role elsewhere, offering spot value in 2025 if he signs soon.
