Sitting against lefty Lopez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Impact The lefty-hitting Lopez starts more often than not against right-handed pitching, but he's been routinely exiting the lineup against left-handed pitching of late. With southpaw JP Sears toeing the rubber for Oakland, Lopez will give way to Jacob Amaya at shortstop.

Benintendi hits a game-ending homer as the White Sox stop their home slide with 7-6 win over A's

SEPTEMBER 15, 2024 • Associated Press
Idle against lefty Lopez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.
Impact With lefty Matthew Boyd on the bump for the Guardians, the lefty-hitting Lopez will give way to Jacob Amaya at shortstop. Lopez had started in five of the White Sox's six matchups with right-handed pitchers in September, so he should maintain a strong-side platoon role in the middle infield, at least until Brooks Baldwin (wrist) comes off the injured list.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Sitting against lefty Lopez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.
Impact Lopez and fellow left-handed batters Gavin Sheets and Dominic Fletcher will head to the bench Monday while the Guardians send southpaw Joey Cantillo to the hill for the series opener. Jacob Amaya will fill in for Lopez at shortstop.
SEPTEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Absent from lineup Lopez is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Boston.
Impact Lopez will begin Sunday's game in the dugout after going 2-for-9 with one run scored across the first two games of the series. Jacob Amaya will start at shortstop and bat ninth against Red Sox right-hander Richard Fitts.
SEPTEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Smacks first home run Lopez went 3-for-4 with a solo homer, a walk and a second run scored in Wednesday's 8-1 win over the Orioles.
Impact Lopez opened the scoring on the second pitch of the game, taking an Albert Suarez fastball over the right-field fence to put Chicago ahead 1-0 in the first inning. It's the first long ball of the year for the 29-year-old Lopez, who'd been stuck in a 6-for-39 (.154) slump in 12 contests coming into Wednesday. Overall, the shortstop is slashing .241/.313/.299 with 37 runs scored, 18 RBI and five stolen bases across 405 plate appearances this year.

Not starting vs. lefty Lopez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.
Impact Lopez has a .472 OPS in his past 12 games and will sit Tuesday as southpaw Cade Povich takes the mound for Baltimore. Jacob Amaya will start at shortstop and bat ninth for Chicago.
SEPTEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
On bench against southpaw Lopez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
Impact With lefty Sean Manaea on the hill, the lefty-hitting Lopez will retreat to the bench for the series finale. The White Sox recently placed Lopez on waivers, but with the 29-year-old going unclaimed, he appears set to stick around in the organization for the rest of the season. Lopez should continue to play regularly against right-handed pitching.

Martinez homers and Megill is effective in his return from the minors as Mets top White Sox 5-1

AUGUST 31, 2024 • Associated Press
Placed on waivers The White Sox placed Lopez on waivers Thursday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
Impact In his first season with the Southsiders, Lopez has slashed .238/.310/.290 with 17 RBI across 387 plate appearances. The other 29 clubs now have the opportunity to add the 29-year-old to their roster for the final month of the season and pay what's left of his $4.3 million salary; however, his poor performance makes it likely that he passes through waivers unclaimed and remains with the Sox.
AUGUST 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Idle Saturday Lopez isn't in the White Sox's lineup for Saturday's game against Detroit.
Impact With formidable lefty Tarik Skubal set to start on the hill for the Tigers, the lefty-hitting Lopez will step out of the lineup Saturday. His absence will move Brooks Baldwin to shortstop while Lenyn Sosa starts at second base and Miguel Vargas covers third.
AUGUST 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Sitting down against lefty Lopez isn't in the White Sox's lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.
Impact The left-handed bat of Lopez will take a seat to begin Tuesday's contest while southpaw Robbie Ray starts on the hill for San Francisco. As a result, Brooks Baldwin will shift to shortstop while Lenyn Sosa starts at the keystone and bats leadoff.
AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Not starting Tuesday Lopez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Yankees.
Impact Lopez has gone 6-for-18 with three walks, two doubles, two RBI and a run through five games in August but will sit for Tuesday's contest. Brooks Baldwin will shift to shortstop while Lenyn Sosa starts at second base and Miguel Vargas mans the hot corner.
AUGUST 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Not starting Saturday Lopez isn't in the White Sox's lineup for Saturday's game versus the Cubs.
Impact Lopez will get a breather Saturday after he went 3-for-5 with an RBI during a loss in Friday's series opener. While he rests, Brooks Baldwin will shift to shortstop while Lenyn Sosa and Miguel Vargas start at second and third base, respectively.
AUGUST 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

AUGUST 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Taking over as leadoff man Lopez went 2-for-3 with a triple, two runs scored and a walk Tuesday against the Royals.
Impact Lopez led off for the third straight contest and has tallied at least one hit on each occasion while scoring three runs. He has just a .049 ISO across 320 plate appearances for the season, though he has only a 14.7 percent strikeout rate and a 7.7 percent walk rate. If Lopez sticks as the leadoff hitter, he could be a decent source of runs for the final two months of the campaign.
