Right-hander Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder) is scheduled to undergo arthroscopic right shoulder surgery Tuesday, manager Brian Snitker told Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Friday. The full extent of the damage won't be known until after the procedure, but Lopez was already placed on the 60-day injured list. (Justin Toscano)

Fantasy Impact:

The surgery confirms Lopez will be sidelined long-term, likely until the second half at best, pending Tuesday's findings. Given the lengthy absence and uncertainty, he can be safely dropped in all redraft formats.
