2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lopez was waived by the Giants in the first week of the 2024 season, but he was promptly picked up by the Marlins and assigned to Triple-A Jacksonville. He was called up by mid-April, initially serving in reserve capacity. Lopez hit his way into the starting lineup, which is where he stayed, other than a short IL stint for lower back inflammation. Lopez parlayed a 17.3 percent strikeout rate and a 53.6 percent groundball clip into a .270 batting average. He doesn't hit the ball hard, but 86th percentile sprint speed helped Lopez log an infield hit rate twice the league average and swipe 20 bases. He's a plus defender at second base and can play all around the infield and outfield. He'll be given a chance to be the regular second baseman but also can handle a utility role. Batting average and steals provide a floor, but unless he's playing every day, Lopez has limited fantasy allure. Read Past Outlooks

Hot start to season continues

April 1, 2025
Lopez went 3-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's loss to the Mets.
ANALYSIS
The second baseman gave the Marlins an early lead when he touched up David Peterson for a solo shot in the first inning. It was Lopez's second homer in five games after he hit only six in 117 contests last season, and he's come out of the gates flying with a .400 (8-for-20) batting average. Lopez never flashed much pop in the minors, but at 26 years old, he could be maturing into some extra power.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Lopez saw just 10 plate appearances in the majors in 2023 as an oblique strain forced him onto the 60-day injured list in July, with the majority of his playing time coming across 346 plate appearances at Triple-A Buffalo. Lopez slashed .258/.313/.343 in Triple-A before the injury shortened his season. Capable of playing both middle infield roles as well as across the outfield, Lopez's path to major league playing time is pretty muddy. The signing of Isiah Kiner-Falefa knocks Lopez down the utility man depth chart for the Blue Jays as he'll likely compete with Ernie Clement for a bench role in 2024.
Lopez made his MLB debut in 2021 with a single appearance, and he followed up by playing in eight games for the Blue Jays last season. The 24-year-old missed time early in 2022 with an oblique issue, but he played in 91 games for Triple-A Buffalo and had a .297/.378/.415 slash line with three home runs, 34 RBI and 14 stolen bases. There's no clear path to playing time with Toronto, but Lopez should have an outside chance to fill a utility role early in 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
On taxi squad
2BToronto Blue Jays
May 21, 2023
Lopez joined the Blue Jays as a member of the taxi squad Sunday and could be added to the active roster if Santiago Espinal's hamstring injury requires a trip to the injured list, reports Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca.
ANALYSIS
Lopez was briefly on the taxi squad earlier this season but has yet to see major-league action in 2023, and he's struggled at the plate for Triple-A Buffalo with a .533 OPS in 36 games. The 24-year-old went 6-for-9 with three RBI during his brief stint with the big club last year. Toronto's group of position players are in good health beyond Espinal, so Lopez would likely fill a bench role if called up.
