DFA'd by Miami Lopez was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Sunday.

Impact Lopez was claimed off waivers by the Marlins last week but had a short stay on the 40-man roster. The 29-year-old will likely be assigned to Triple-A Jacksonville if he goes unclaimed on waivers. Lopez appeared in 13 games for the Diamondbacks last season and had a 6.57 ERA and 1.95 WHIP over 12.1 innings.

Claimed by Marlins Lopez was claimed off waivers by the Marlins on Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Lopez finds himself on his third organization of the offseason, as he began it with Atlanta before being waived and claimed by the Phillies in November, only to be designated for assignment again this week. The 29-year-old owns a 6.19 ERA in 32 major-league innings over the last two years, so it would hardly be a surprise if he doesn't last long in Miami, either.

DFA'd by Philadelphia The Phillies designated Lopez for assignment Wednesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact Lopez's removal from the 40-man roster clears a spot for outfielder Odubel Herrera, who officially re-signed Wednesday with the Phillies on a one-year, $1.75 million deal. The 29-year-old reliever will now head into DFA limbo for the third time in less than a year, after Arizona and Atlanta previously cast him off their 40-man rosters in 2021.

Claimed by Phillies Lopez was claimed off waivers by the Phillies on Monday.

Impact The Phillies have struggled to put together a bullpen in recent seasons, but it's not clear that adding Lopez meaningfully changes that. In 32 innings of relief over the last two seasons, the right-hander owners a 6.19 ERA, striking out just 19.6 percent of opposing batters while walking 10.1 percent.

Designated for assignment Lopez was designated for assignment by Atlanta on Monday.

Impact Lopez made 13 major-league appearances with the Diamondbacks early in the 2021 campaign and posted a 6.57 ERA and 1.95 WHIP in 12.1 innings. However, he was traded to Atlanta in May and spent the remainder of the season at Triple-A Gwinnett. The 28-year-old will now lose his spot on the 40-man roster after Atlanta traded for right-hander Jay Jackson on Monday.

Traded to Atlanta Lopez was traded from Arizona to Atlanta on Saturday in exchange for Deivi Estrada.

Impact Lopez was designated for assignment Thursday, but the Diamondbacks will wind up getting something for him on his way out the door. The 28-year-old righty struggled to a 6.57 ERA in 12.1 innings of relief this season but posted a respectable 3.93 ERA in 89.1 frames over his first three years in the league. He'll head to Triple-A Gwinnett for now.

Designated for assignment Lopez was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

Impact Lopez rejoined the major-league roster Saturday and allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while failing to record a strikeout in 2.1 innings across two relief appearances. He'll now be removed from the 40-man roster to make room for outfielder Josh Reddick, whose contract was selected by Arizona in a corresponding move.

Rejoins major-league club Lopez was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

Impact The 28-year-old was sent down at the end of April after posting a 6.30 ERA through 11 appearances, but he'll rejoin the Diamondbacks on Saturday. Lopez previously worked in a high-leverage role but is likely to handle lower-leverage duties this time around, at least early on.

Diamondbacks option reliever Yoan Lopez after latest shaky outing The Diamondbacks made a change in the bullpen on Thursday by optioning right-hander Yoan Lopez.

Optioned to alternate camp Lopez was optioned to the Diamondbacks' alternate training site Thursday.

Impact Lopez had pitched well to begin the season but gave up three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out one in one inning during Wednesday's loss to the Padres. The right-hander failed to convert on any of his three save chances early in the season and will now be sent down after Chris Devenski (personal) was activated from the restricted list in a corresponding move.

Finishes off Reds Lopez allowed one hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning of Saturday's 8-3 win over Cincinnati.

Impact Lopez cleaned up in a non-save situation and has yet to allow an earned run in four appearances. The right-hander is in the mix for save chances while the Diamondbacks' closer situation is unsettled. Joakim Soria (calf) is on the injured list while Chris Devenski (personal) is away from the team. Lopez has struck out seven, walked four and allowed two hits over four innings.

Blows save in extras Lopez allowed one unearned run on one hit and two walks while striking out two over one inning in Tuesday's 10-8 extra-innings win over the Rockies.

Impact Lopez came on in 10th inning after Chris Devenski blew a save opportunity in regulation and immediately allowed Colorado to tie the game when Josh Fuentes doubled in Elias Diaz, who started the inning on second base. With the news that Joakim Soria (calf) is on the injured list, Lopez could be in the mix for late-inning work, although he was not a sure bet to make the squad during spring training. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo told Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Repulbic that "somebody is going to emerge," and he'll continue to operate a bullpen without defined roles until that happens.

Allows runs again Lopez allowed two runs on two hits and a walk over one inning in Monday's spring game against the Giants.

Impact Lopez, who's allowed 1.5 HR/9 (17 homers in 100 innings) during his MLB career, gave up an Evan Longoria long ball before his base on balls came around to score. It was the second time in as many Cactus League games that he's been scored upon. The 28-year-old righty is expected to occupy a role in the final third of games, although last season's 5.95 ERA and 1.53 WHIP suggest he's not a lock to hold that position.

MARCH 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Missed time in camp Lopez returned to camp after missing the last two workouts due to a kidney stone, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Lopez appears to be "pushing forward and on the other side of that," but did not specify the right-hander's status or activity level. Lopez is coming off a shaky 2020 campaign and will look to re-establish himself in a bullpen without many defined roles at this point.

Third straight scoreless outing Lopez retired all four batters faced in 1.2 scoreless innings in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Astros.

Impact After the Astros took the lead in the sixth inning and chased starter Luke Weaver, Lopez quieted the rally with a double-play. He went on to retire the side in the seventh to stretch his scoreless streak to four innings over three appearances. There hasn't been enough outings like this for Lopez, who has a mid-to-high 90s fastball but was not considered as a replacement at closer when Arizona traded Archie Bradley. He's allowed runs in seven of his 16 outings, including four home runs over 17.2 innings. For his career, Lopez has permitted 17 home runs over 87.1 innings (1.75 HR/9).

SEPTEMBER 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Moved to alternate site Lopez was optioned to Arizona's alternate camp site Thursday.

Impact Lopez has appeared in five games for the Diamondbacks this season, compiling a 4.15 ERA and 3:2 K:BB across 4.1 innings. He'll represent additional bullpen depth at the team's satellite camp.

Appears in opener Lopez appeared in the Diamondbacks' 7-2 loss to the Padres on Friday, striking out one while working around a hit and a walk in a scoreless frame.

Impact Lopez missed a few days of workouts at the tail end of summer camp, but the absences ultimately didn't impact his availability for the season opener. Given that the right-hander was used in the eighth inning of a game the Diamondbacks were trailing by six runs at the time, Lopez could be destined for lower-leverage work early on during the season.

Impact Lopez, who missed the final days of summer camp and did not accompany the team for its exhibition series in Los Angeles against the Dodgers for unspecified reasons, threw a simulated inning Tuesday at Chase Field.

Absent from camp Lopez has not been at camp for the past few days due to undisclosed reasons, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Impact What's been learned during summer camp is the results of periodic testing for the novel coronavirus are sometimes not immediately known, so a player will be absent a few days. That may be the case here. Lopez had a good camp per recent reporting and is expected to make the team as a member of the bullpen.
