Added to Wednesday's lineup Lopez was added to the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact The 26-year-old was initially slated to be out of the lineup for the fourth time in the last five games, but he'll join the starting nine after Brandon Drury (Achilles) was scratched just under an hour before the scheduled first pitch. Lopez will start at the keystone and bat second Wednesday.

Rejoins big club The Reds recalled Lopez from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Impact Lopez is eligible to rejoin the Reds just two days after being optioned since Cincinnati placed Joey Votto (illness) on the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move. The 25-year-old is expected to be ticketed for a depth role, though it's possible the Reds give him another look as the everyday second baseman after Jonathan India (hamstring) was moved back to the injured list Sunday.

Optioned to Louisville Lopez was optioned back down to Triple-A Louisville following Sunday's loss to the Rockies.

Impact That it was Lopez and not someone else sent back down was a little surprising, given that Jonathan India just went back on the IL on Sunday. But the Reds needed to demote two players because they were required to get down to 26 players, and Lopez drew the short straw.

Back in majors Lopez was recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

Impact The 25-year-old was demoted to Louisville on Tuesday but will quickly rejoin the big-league club with Jonathan India (hamstring) headed back to the injured list. Trejo is 5-for-19 with a walk and two runs in seven major-league appearances this season.

Returns to minors The Reds optioned Lopez to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Impact Cincinnati brought back Jonathan India (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move, with his return ending Lopez's run as the Reds' everyday second baseman. The 25-year-old started at the keystone in each of the team's last six games, going 5-for-19 with a walk and two runs.

Filling in for Jonathan India Lopez will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Padres.

Impact Lopez was expected to serve as infield depth when he was called up from Triple-A Louisville over the weekend, but he now looks primed to handle a near-everyday role in the infield after both Jonathan India (hamstring) and Mike Moustakas (biceps) were placed on the injured list Tuesday. Brandon Drury could also push for time in the infield, though Tyler Stephenson's (concussion) placement on the IL on Wednesday could result in Drury seeing most of his starts as the Reds' designated hitter.

APRIL 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Making first start Lopez will start at second base and bat sixth Monday night against the Padres, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Lopez was a late addition to the starting lineup after Mike Moustakas (undisclosed) was scratched. He's yet to see an at-bat this season after being called up from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

APRIL 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Called up from Triple-A The Reds recalled Lopez from Triple-A Louisville ahead of Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Though reliever Daniel Duarte (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday to open up a spot on the 28-man roster for Lopez, the 25-year-old infielder's promotion to the big club could be a precursor to Jonathan India (hamstring) landing on the IL. Even if India is deactivated, Lopez likely wouldn't serve as his replacement in the lineup, as Brandon Drury is picking up a third straight start at the keystone Sunday in place of India.

Assigned to taxi squad Lopez was assigned to the Reds' taxi squad Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Lopez began the season at Triple-A Louisville and hit just .161 with a double, three RBI, two runs and a steal in nine games. However, he'll travel with the Reds during their current road trip since the team is dealing with several injuries.

Sent to Louisville Lopez was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Saturday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Called up by Reds Lopez was recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.

Impact Lopez spent some time with the major-league club in June and July, and he'll now rejoin the Reds as part of Wednesday's roster expansion. The 25-year-old went 6-for-19 with three runs and three strikeouts across 11 games in his first big-league action this year and will serve as infield depth for Cincinnati.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Joins taxi squad The Reds added Lopez to their taxi squad Saturday.

Impact It's unclear whether the team plans on recalling Lopez in the near future, or if it just wants him available in case another player, perhaps Jesse Winker (back), goes on the injured list.

AUGUST 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to minors The Reds optioned Lopez to Triple-A Louisville on Monday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

The 25-year-old infielder appeared in two games during the Reds' series with the Cardinals, going 1-for-2 with a base hit.

JULY 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
