Nicky Lopez Stats

Kansas City Royals shortstop Nicky Lopez helped lead the team to a 10-7 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday. He went 3-for-5 with a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored. Lopez has really come alive over the past few months. He slashed .317/.366/.375 and recorded 10 stolen bases in August. He's been even better at the plate so far in September. He already has eight multi-hit games this month to go along with 10 runs scored and a .375/.407/.482 slash line. He's cemented into the No. 2 spot in the team's lineup, which should allow for him to continue to score a good amount of runs while also helping fantasy managers in stolen bases and batting average.

Kansas City Royals shortstop Nicky Lopez was a single-hitting machine in the team's four-game series against the Seattle Mariners. In Sunday's series finale, he went 3-for-4 with three singles and a run scored. It was his third consecutive game with exactly three singles. He went 10-for-17 overall in the series with all 10 of his hits being singles. Lopez is slashing .292/.361/.362 on the season. He has 18 stolen bases on the year, 10 of which have come this month. He's cemented into the No. 2 spot in the team's batting order, so he should continue to produce runs and stolen bases going forward as long as he can keep hitting. Just don't expect any power production as he has only one home run over 119 games on the year.

It only took 109 games, but Nicky Lopez has finally lifted a ball over the fences. The Kansas City Royals shortstop went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in the team's 6-3 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday. Lopez has had a solid year overall. Through his 109 games on the year, he's slashing .277/.347/.354 with 15 stolen bases, 30 RBI and 49 runs. He's been seeing more time near the top of the lineup lately, and it's resulted in more trips to the plate and more trips to the base paths. Seven of his 15 stolen bases on the year have come this month. Lopez's complete lack of power limits his fantasy appeal, but anyone looking for a boost in stolen bases can consider rostering him.
