Grabs quality start Lopez allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Sunday.

Impact Lopez continues to limit damage pretty well -- this was his seventh straight outing with two runs or fewer allowed. It was also a second straight quality start for the southpaw, though he's winless over his last four games. Lopez is at a 5.22 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 81:46 K:BB through 88 innings across 20 games (17 starts) this season. He is tentatively projected to make his next start on the road in Houston.

Strong start goes to waste Lopez allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Rays on Monday.

Impact Lopez put forth his longest outing of the season, and it was one of his better performances as well. The Athletics weren't able to hang onto the lead when the bullpen took over, as Seth Johnson and Jose Suarez combined to allow eight runs in the eighth inning. Lopez has allowed eight runs (seven earned) over 26.2 innings across five starts since he re-entered the rotation after the All-Star break. For the year, he's at a 5.38 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 75:44 K:BB through 82 innings across 19 games (16 starts). Lopez's recent pitching is encouraging, but he remains a risky option in fantasy due to a hitter-friendly home park. His next outing is projected to be at home versus the Rangers.

Nine strikeouts in no-decision Lopez allowed two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out nine over the span of five innings in the 3-2 loss to the Reds on Wednesday.

Impact After serving as an option in the bullpen for a brief time in late May and early July, Lopez has been back in the rotation for his last four starts. Lopez has pitched 19.2 innings with a 2.29 ERA and 0.97 WHIP for a 1-1 record. The lefty is projected to take the mound next week against the Rays.

Strikes out eight in no-decision Lopez allowed two runs (one earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out eight over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Red Sox on Wednesday.

Impact Lopez has allowed four runs (three earned) over 14.2 innings across three starts since he returned to the Athletics' rotation. He threw 63 of 97 pitches for strikes in this outing, which should put to rest any concerns of workload limitations. Lopez has pitched to a 5.79 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 61:42 K:BB through 70 innings over 17 games (14 starts) this season. The southpaw is tentatively projected to make his next start on the road in Cincinnati.

Collects fifth win Lopez (5-4) allowed one hit, four walks and a hit batsman while striking out four over five shutout innings to earn the win over the Twins on Friday.

Impact Lopez wasn't all that impressive, but keeping runs off the board was good enough to earn him his first win since May 24. The southpaw threw 50 of 91 pitches for strikes in this outing, which was his second consecutive turn through the rotation. Lopez has a 6.12 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 53:40 K:BB through 64.2 innings over 16 games (13 starts) this season. He looks set to continue occupying a starting role, though he is a bit of a risky option in his next projected start, which is expected to be at home versus the Red Sox.

Takes loss in return to rotation Lopez (4-4) allowed two runs on two hits, two walks and two hit batsmen while striking out six over 4.1 innings to take the loss versus the Nationals on Sunday.

Impact Lopez is occupying the rotation spot previously held by Aaron Civale, who was designated for assignment Wednesday and subsequently traded to the Cubs on Saturday. This was a mediocre showing for Lopez, though he was able to avoid giving up a home run. He threw 52 of 84 pitches for strikes and may need to stretch out a bit after some time in the bullpen. He has a 6.64 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 49:36 K:BB through 59.2 innings over 15 games (12 starts) this season. Lopez is lined up to make his next appearance on the road in Minnesota.

Lopez has made two relief appearances since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas last week, allowing four runs with a 5:1 K:BB over 4.2 innings. All told, the southpaw has logged an ugly 6.83 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 43:34 K:BB over 55.1 innings in the majors this season.
