Braves right-hander Reynaldo López goes on injured list with shoulder inflammation

Atlanta Braves right-hander Reynaldo López has been placed on the 15-day injured list because of right shoulder inflammation

SEPTEMBER 15 • Associated Press

Moves to injured list Atlanta placed Lopez on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to right shoulder inflammation.

Impact The right-hander took the loss Saturday against the Cubs after giving up five runs across three innings, leaving him with a 7.94 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and 0-4 record in his past five starts. Following the game, manager Walt Weiss indicated the Lopez has dealt with shoulder discomfort at times throughout the season, and he'll now be sidelined for at least the final two weeks of the regular season. The 32-year-old closes out the 2026 regular season with a 4.54 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 73:34 K:BB across 79.1 innings, with his late struggles spoiling what had been a strong start to the campaign. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to rejoin Atlanta during the playoffs.

Impact It's clear that Lopez hasn't been himself since returning from the injured list after working through a bout of knee inflammation, and it appears as though Atlanta will place him on the shelf, which would end his 2026 regular season. Weiss noted after the game that the right-hander experience discomfort in his shoulder during Monday's start, per Jesus Cano of The Athletic, so expect a formal decision to come from the team Tuesday.

Loss in return Lopez (4-4) took home the loss against the Ray Wednesday, giving up six runs on seven hits and three walks with five strikeouts in 4.2 innings.

Impact Lopez throw a solid amount with 80 pitches in his return to the starting lineup for the first time since late July with left knee inflammation.

The righty now has a 4.13 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, and a 71:32 K:BB in 76.1 innings pitched. The 32-year-old is penciled in to make his next start against the Cubs next week on the road.

Activated ahead of start Wednesday Atlanta activated Lopez (knee) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Lopez will rejoin Atlanta's rotation with a start Wednesday against the Rays. The right-hander has been shelved since late July with left knee inflammation, but he pitched well on a rehab assignment, collecting a 2.57 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB in 14 innings. Lopez threw 93 pitches in his last rehab outing, so he should be prepared to handle a normal workload versus Tampa Bay.

Braves pitcher Bryce Elder is out 3-4 weeks after right knee surgery

SEPTEMBER 8 • Associated Press

Locked in to start Wednesday Lopez (knee) will return from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Rays in Atlanta, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Atlanta will keep a six-man rotation intact but will open up a spot for Lopez by shifting Bryce Elder to the bullpen, at least for the next week. Lopez will make his return to the big club after a strong showing in his three-start rehab assignment at Triple-A Gwinnett, during which he rung up a 2.57 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB in 14 innings. He tossed 93 pitches in his final rehab outing and shouldn't face any workload restrictions Wednesday, when he makes his 12th start of the season for Atlanta.

SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoining rotation next week Lopez (knee) will be activated from the 15-day injured list and make a start next week, Jesus Cano of The Athletic reports.

Impact If Lopez starts on five days' rest like he did in his last rehab outing with Triple-A Gwinnett, he would take the ball Wednesday at home against the Rays. The veteran right-hander has been sidelined since late July with left knee inflammation, but he shouldn't have any workload restrictions after tossing 93 pitches over five scoreless frames Thursday with Gwinnett.

SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Exceeds 90 pitches in rehab outing Lopez (knee) tossed five scoreless innings, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out six batters in a rehab start with Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

Impact Lopez was making the third start of his minor-league rehab assignment, and he was able to toss 53 of his 93 total pitches for strikes. The 32-year-old has been sidelined since the beginning of August while nursing left knee inflammation, but he now appears to be on track to make his next appearance with the major-league club after getting fully stretched out with Gwinnett.

SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Another rehab start awaits Atlanta manager Walt Weiss said Monday that Lopez (knee) is expected to make another rehab start this week before being activated from the 15-day injured list, Grant McAuley of the...

Impact Lopez has covered nine innings between his first two rehab starts with Triple-A Gwinnett, striking out five batters while allowing four runs on 11 hits and one walk. Though the right-hander could be headed for the bullpen once he's activated from the IL, Atlanta is giving Lopez the chance to get stretched out as a starter in case he's needed to fill a spot in the big club's six-man rotation during September. Before landing on the IL on Aug. 2 due to left knee inflammation, Lopez had started in each of his last six appearances for Atlanta and logged a 3.86 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 27:8 K:BB across 28 innings.

Tosses scoreless rehab outing Lopez (knee) pitched four scoreless innings, allowing three hits and a walk while striking out four batters in a minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Impact Lopez was making his first rehab start since being placed on the 15-day injured list with left knee inflammation Aug. 2. The 32-year-old was impressive in his return to the mound, tossing 35 of his 50 total pitches for strikes. Lopez will likely require at least one more start with Gwinnett before Atlanta would consider activating him from the IL.
