INJURIES
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.

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.
