Nicky Lopez Stats

Kansas City Royals infielder Nicky Lopez was in the lineup for both games of Tuesday's twin bill against the Chicago White Sox, and he came through with four hits in seven at-bats with a double and a walk. Lopez has been a mainstay at the bottom of the Kansas City lineup, but he's managed to slash just .215/.306/.252 with no homers, 11 runs scored, three RBI, and two steals in 118 plate appearances. With little to no output in any fantasy categories, Lopez should be far from rosters. He may improve enough in batting average and stolen bases to warrant an add later on, but he's simply not productive enough to hold for now.

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.
