Not starting Monday Lopez will sit Monday against the White Sox.

Impact Lopez will sit against veteran southpaw Dallas Keuchel, marking the second straight day he's been on the bench against a lefty. Hanser Alberto will get another start at shortstop in his absence.

Sitting against lefty Lopez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hanser Alberto will pick up the start at shortstop for the lefty-hitting Lopez, who takes a seat with southpaw Tarik Skubal on the hill for Detroit. Lopez had started in each of Kansas City's first 17 games of July, slashing .339/.413/.429 with zero home runs, one stolen base, nine runs and 10 RBI.

On base four times Saturday Lopez went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-8 win over Detroit.

Impact Lopez made an impact from the No. 9 spot in the order in Saturday's comeback win. The contact-hitting infielder has gone 10-for-24 (.417) with three doubles, seven RBI and six runs scored in his last seven games, including four multi-hit efforts. The 26-year-old isn't in the lineup Sunday for a well-earned day of rest, but he should be available as a pinch hitter if necessary.
