Turns in strong outing Lopez allowed one run on four hits and struck out five over 5.2 innings Monday night against Boston. He didn't factor into the decision.

Impact Lopez certainly pitched well enough to pick up the win in this one, but he would leave in a 1-1 contest with two outs in the sixth and 71 pitches, 52 for strikes. His only blemish in the run column came in the fourth inning, surrendering a sacrifice fly to left field. Lopez has now allowed two or fewer runs in five of his last six starts, but he's struggled to work deep into ballgames, with Monday marking his longest appearance of the 2021 campaign.

4.2 innings in no-decision Lopez started Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Seattle, allowing one run on three hits and two walks with four strikeouts in 4.2 innings. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Typically, Lopez pitches between four and five innings -- he had done that in all six of his starts this season. He ran into trouble the second time through the order Tuesday, however, surrendering a Kyle Seager home run in the fourth and allowing two baserunners in the fifth before being removed. Until manager Brandon Hyde trusts him to go deeper into games, it will be difficult for Lopez to hold value.

Throws four innings Lopez allowed two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three across four innings Thursday against the Yankees. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Lopez exited the game with runners on first and second, but he had yet to surrender a run. However, Rougned Odor singled in two both baserunners off Adam Plutko, resulting in Lopez being charged with the runs. Lopez has had a tough start to the season, as he's managed only a 7.48 ERA with a 21:9 K:BB across 21.2 innings. He's currently projected to make his next start Tuesday at Seattle.

Charged with loss Friday Lopez (1-3) allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out one in four innings to take the loss against the Athletics on Friday.

Impact Lopez earned his first win of the season in his last outing, but he returned to the loss column against Oakland. The right-hander gave up two runs in the second inning and was removed from the contest after he allowed a solo home run to lead off the fifth inning. Lopez has now posted an 8.15 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 17.2 innings across his first four starts of the season. He'll attempt to turn things around at home against the Yankees on Wednesday.

Fans eight in first win Lopez (1-2) picked up the win Friday, giving up two runs on two hits and a walk over five innings in a 5-2 victory over the Rangers. He struck out eight.

Impact Both runs off the right-hander came on solo shots, but otherwise Lopez was sharp, throwing 49 of 75 pitches before exiting. Despite the strong outing and a 17:5 K:BB through 13.2 innings, he has a 8.56 ERA thanks to a 3.3 HR/9. With the O's having a couple off days coming up, it's not clear when Lopez will take the mound next.

APRIL 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Charged with second loss Lopez (0-2) allowed seven runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out four over four innings in a loss to the Red Sox on Sunday.

Impact Lopez was relatively effective by tossing two scoreless innings to begin Sunday's game, but he allowed back-to-back home runs in the top of the third inning to put him in line for the loss. The right-hander has recorded an 11.42 ERA and 1.73 WHIP in 8.2 innings through his first two starts of the season. He'll attempt to bounce back on the road against the Rangers on Friday.

APRIL 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Coughs up four runs Lopez (0-1) allowed four runs on three hits and three walks over 4.2 innings Monday, taking the loss against the Yankees. He struck out five.

Impact Lopez looked good to begin the game, allowing just one hit through three innings. He then coughed up a solo homer to Aaron Judge in the fourth before getting into more trouble in the fifth. With two outs in the inning, he walked the bases loaded and was replaced by Shawn Armstrong, who would later serve up a grand slam to Giancarlo Stanton. Lopez will look to turn things around Sunday at home against the Red Sox.

Secures starting gig Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Lopez would start the Orioles' fourth game of the season April 5 against the Yankees in New York, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Lopez and Dean Kremer were awarded the final two spots in Baltimore's rotation, beating out Felix Hernandez (elbow), Wade LeBlanc and Tom Eshelman for those jobs. The 28-year-old right-hander covered 19.2 innings in the Grapefruit League this spring, posting a 2.75 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and a 17:7 K:BB. Lopez's track record at the big-league level is far less impressive than his spring numbers, so he'll need to deliver some quality results in the games that count before fantasy managers can invest in him with any confidence.

MARCH 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Blitzed by Blue Jays Lopez (2-2) took the loss Friday, surrendering eight runs on nine hits and a walk over two-plus innings as the Orioles were dropped 10-5 by the Blue Jays. He struck out one.

Impact The right-hander was allowed to come back out after a disastrous six-run second inning, but Toronto immediately slapped three straight singles off Lopez to drive him from the game, and only Travis Shaw getting thrown out at home prevented even more damage to Lopez's ratios. He finishes the season with a 6.69 ERA and 28:12 K:BB over 39 innings.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Takes loss despite quality start Lopez (2-1) was tagged with the loss Saturday against Tampa Bay, pitching six innings and allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out five.

Impact Lopez notched his second straight quality start in the contest, but a lack of run support led to his first loss of the campaign. The right-hander was stung by a pair of Rays home runs, the second of which -- a two-run shot off the bat of Randy Arozarena in the fifth inning -- proved to be the difference in the low-scoring affair. Lopez will carry a 5.11 ERA into his next start, currently scheduled for Friday at Toronto.

Baltimore looks to follow up a dominant outing by Monday starter Jorge Lopez

SEPTEMBER 15, 2020 • Associated Press

Fires gem in win Lopez (2-0) allowed one run on five hits and two walks over seven innings Monday, striking out three batters and earning the win over Atlanta.

Impact Lopez dominated Atlanta's lineup all night with the lone blemish coming via a solo shot by Freddie Freeman in the sixth frame. It didn't hurt that his offense tallied 14 runs of support for him. The 27-year-old righty moved to 2-0 and lowered his season ERA to 5.23. Lopez will take on the Rays at home Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Staying in rotation Lopez will start Monday's series opener against the Braves, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Impact After turning in a 5.02 ERA through his first three starts with Baltimore and with Alex Cobb having returned from the injured list over the weekend, Lopez looked as though he might be at risk of losing his spot in the rotation. With a doubleheader on tap Thursday versus the Rays, however, Baltimore will likely run a six-man rotation this week that will evidently include Lopez. The right-hander may need a quality showing versus Atlanta to earn himself an additional start or two before the regular season concludes.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Roughed up Wednesday Lopez allowed five runs on six hits (two home runs) and a walk while striking out six across 4.2 innings Wednesday. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Through the first three innings, the only guy on the Mets that was able to touch Lopez was Jeff McNeil who had an RBI line-drive single to right in the second followed by a two-run shot to left in the fourth. The Mets were able to eventually chase Lopez out of the game in the fifth after he served up a solo home run to Michael Conforto and walked J.D. Davis the very next batter. The 27-year-old did have a season-high six strikeouts but his ERA rose to a 6.38 and with Alex Cobb (undisclosed) set to return in a few days, Wednesday's start may have been Lopez's last for the near future.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Solid in first win Lopez (1-0) allowed three unearned runs on three hits and a walk while striking out two over five innings in a win in Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader versus the Yankees.

Impact While the Orioles' defense was suspect, Lopez was solid enough to limit mistakes of his own despite throwing just 44 of his 88 pitches for strikes. The 27-year-old now has a 5.59 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 13 strikeouts across 19.1 innings this season. Lopez lines up for a rematch at Yankee Stadium on Thursday if he retains his spot in the rotation.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Receiving another start Lopez is slated to start one half of Friday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Lopez joined the rotation last weekend, stepping in as a replacement for Wade LeBlanc (elbow). He worked 4.2 innings in a no-decision against the Blue Jays, giving up three runs on three hits and three walks while striking out three. He was limited to 63 pitches in that outing, but he should push up to 75-to-85-pitch range in his second start.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Allows three runs in no-decision Lopez yielded three runs on three hits and three walks over 4.2 innings Sunday, striking out three in the loss to Toronto. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact Lopez looked sharp in three scoreless innings before allowing an RBI single in the fourth. He then coughed up a pair of runs in the fifth before he was lifted from the contest. Lopez will carry a 7.53 ERA into Friday's home matchup with the Yankees.

AUGUST 30, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Gets rotation shot Orioles bullpen coach Darren Holmes said Lopez would start Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Lopez will get the first shot at joining the Baltimore rotation as a replacement for Wade LeBlanc, who was shut down for the season after being diagnosed with a left elbow stress reaction coming out of his start last weekend. Since being claimed off waivers from the Royals earlier this month, Lopez has made three appearances in relief for the Orioles, posting a 7.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 8.0 K/9 over nine innings.

AUGUST 29, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Piggybacks Means in team debut Lopez worked four innings of long relief Sunday in the Orioles' 6-5 loss to the Nationals. He gave up two runs on three hits while striking out five in a no-decision.

Impact After being scooped up off waivers from the Royals, Lopez was called upon for piggyback duties in his team debut. With starter John Means being pulled after 34 pitches as part of a pre-determined plan to build up his arm slowly following his return from the bereavement list and COVID-19 injured list, Lopez entered the game with two outs in the first inning and runners on first and second. Lopez inducing an inning-ending groundout that allowed the Orioles to escape trailing by only three runs, and he pitched effectively for another 3.2 innings to keep his team competitive. Per Joe Trezza of MLB.com, Means' pitch count is expected to climb up to around 50 in his next scheduled start, so Lopez or Thomas Eshelman could be called on to piggyback the lefty in Friday's game against the Red Sox.

AUGUST 17, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on bereavement list Lopez was placed on the bereavement list Friday.

Impact Lopez had made one appearance out of the bullpen to begin the season, but he'll now miss several days while on the bereavement list. The right-hander allowed two runs on three hits while recording two outs in his one relief appearance so far this year.

JULY 31, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Competing for rotation spot Griffin is competing to be the Royals' No. 5 starter, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

Impact He threw three scoreless innings and gave up just one hit in his most recent intrasquad outing. If Brad Keller (coronavirus) is not ready for his first start of the season, there would be two rotation spots up for grabs, otherwise Griffin will be competing with Brady Singer and Jorge Lopez for one spot. Griffin, who is on the 40-man roster, logged a 5.23 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 111 strikeouts in 130.2 innings at Triple-A last season.
