Drawing fourth straight start Lopez will start at second base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Lopez will pick up a fourth straight start and his second in a row at the keystone in the penultimate game of the series versus Seattle. With Josh Jung (calf) recently joining Corey Seager (back) on the injured list, Lopez should at least temporarily have a path to an everyday role in the Texas infield. Since signing with the Rangers in late May, Lopez is batting .326 over 135 at-bats but has provided limited production in most other categories (one home run, four stolen bases, 16 RBI and 15 runs).

Enters for injured teammate Lopez entered Tuesday's game in the fourth inning as a replacement for the injured Josh Jung (calf). He went 2-for-3 with an RBI in a 10-0 win over the White Sox.

Impact Lopez, who's been the primary second baseman the during the month of July, entered to play shortstop while Ezequiel Duran shifted to third base. Depending on how Jung responds, Lopez could continue to defensd shortstop or move back to second base Wednesday. The Rangers' primary starter at short, Corey Seager (back), is progressing in his rehab but has only hit off a batting tee, indicating at least another week or so before he returns. Once he does return, it's expected that Duran and Lopez will share second base.

Hit streak reaches nine games Lopez went 3-for-5 with a stolen base, an RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 10-4 win over Detroit.

Impact Lopez extended a hit streak to nine games, during which the infielder is 13-for-29 (.448) with two steals (caught twice), three RBI and five runs scored.

Settling in at shortstop Lopez started at shortstop and went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Wednesday's 9-4 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Lopez played shortstop for a third consecutive game and should see time there in the short term after the club placed Corey Seager (back) on the injured list Wednesday. Ezequiel Duran had been the fill-in for Seager during a previous IL stint, but he's neeed in the outfield, which is also dealing with missing bodies due to injury. With Lopez shifting from second base to short, the keystone opens up for Cameron Cauley, Justin Foscue or Josh Smith. Lopez has hit safely in eight consecutive games, going 10-for-24 with two RBI.

Covers shortstop again Lopez moved from second base to shortstop in the first inning of Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Guardians. He went 1-for-3 with a run scoerd.

Impact Lopez opened the game at second base, but shortstop Corey Seager was pulled from the game in the first inning with back discomfort. Ezequiel Duran might normally take over at shortstop, but he's been needed in the outfield, where both Brandon Nimmo (shoulder) and Wyatt Langford are battling injuries. This was Lopez's second consecutive game playing shortstop.
