Player Outlook
Nicky Lopez received regular run as the Royals' shortstop in 2021, but his playing time trended downward following Bobby Witt's arrival, and Lopez was eventually traded to Atlanta at last year's deadline. He was dealt again in November to the White Sox as part of the package for reliever Aaron Bummer. While Lopez is severely lacking the power department -- he has never hit more than two home runs in a big-league season -- he can help real-life teams with his speed and defense around the infield. A hot spring has him positioned to open the year as the primary second baseman on the South Side, though it is difficult to envision him exceeding 500 plate appearances, even on a rebuilding club. The 29-year-old is not a bad player, but he simply does not do enough else offensively to allow his speed to play in the vast majority of fantasy leagues.

  • White Sox's Nicky Lopez: On bench in Baldwin's debut

    Rotowire
    Lopez is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals. The lefty-hitting Lopez will take a seat against Royals right-hander Michael Wacha in the White Sox's first game after the All-Star break. With the White Sox calling up prospect Brooks Baldwin from Triple-A Charlotte and installing him as the starter at second base Friday in his MLB debut, Lopez's time as a regular in the infield could be over. The veteran went hitless over his final three starts before the break, bringing his season-long slash line down to a dismal .240/.297/.287 over 285 plate appearances.

  • White Sox's Nicky Lopez: Checking out of starting nine

    Rotowire
    Lopez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays. Lopez recently overcame a sore adductor and started at second base in the first two contests of the series in Tampa, going 2-for-7 at the plate. The White Sox haven't indicated that Lopez suffered a setback with the injury, so his absence Wednesday is presumably maintenance-related.

  • White Sox's Nicky Lopez: Back in action Monday

    Rotowire
    Lopez (adductor) will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Rays. Lopez was held out of the lineup for Sunday's 5-1 win over the Cardinals with adductor soreness, but the injury was apparently just a minor concern. After serving as the White Sox's leadoff hitter in each of his last 12 starts, the lefty-hitting Lopez will drop the bottom of the order Monday, likely because Chicago is opposing a southpaw in Tyler Alexander.

    Rotowire
    Lopez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox and is dealing with adductor soreness, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
