Reynaldo Lopez

Reynaldo López will start in place of Lance Lynn on Saturday against the Royals.

Fantasy Impact

López pitched well in August even though the innings were limited. Through seven appearances in August, López has a 1.57 ERA and 0.74 WHIP. In leagues without quality starts, López is someone to stream against the Royals.

Reynaldo Lopez pitched five perfect innings on Friday, striking out seven batters.

Fantasy Impact

After leaving the rotation with Carlos Rodon's return off the IL, Lopez was shifted back to the bullpen. But after a one-inning start from teammate Dallas Keuchel, Lopez got his number called upon and he delivered with an absolute masterclass that earned him his third win of the season. It wouldn't shock me to see Lopez take Keuchel's starting spot to close out the season.

Chicago White Sox pitcher Reynaldo Lopez will shift back to the bullpen when left-hander Carlos Rodon (shoulder) is activated from the 10-day injured list.

Fantasy Impact

Lopez has been phenomenal since returning to the rotation, owning a (2-0) record along with a 1.08 ERA, 0.72 WHIP, and 26 strikeouts across 25 innings. He will shift back to the bullpen once Carlos Rodon (shoulder) returns to action. According to White Sox manager Tony La Russa, the number of off days in September likely negates the need for extra days for the five-person rotation. Fantasy managers can stream Lopez until he moves to the bullpen, which will likely happen at the end of August.

Reynaldo Lopez started his third game of the year on Tuesday, pitching five shutout innings, allowing just one hit and two walks while striking out four.

Fantasy Impact

Lopez now has an ERA of 1.08 on the year and while he was effective on Tuesday, his starting role is mainly just due to teammate Carlos Rodon being out with injury.

The White Sox recalled RHP Reynaldo Lopez from Triple-A Charlotte.

Fantasy Impact

Lopez struggled in Triple-A and is transitioning to a bullpen role in Chicago for now.
