Reynaldo López Stats

Chicago White Sox right-handed pitcher Reynaldo Lopez will not be making the club's Opening Day roster after he was optioned to the alternate training site Monday. Lopez is coming off a rough 2020 campaign in which his opponents' 91.1 mph average exit velocity, .511 xSLG and .396 wOBA all ranked among the lowest 10 percent of pitchers in the Majors. During the last full season, Lopez's 110 earned runs allowed was tops in the big leagues. His demotion likely means that Carlos Rodon will begin the year as Chicago's No. 5 starter, with Lucas Giolito, Dallas Keuchel, Lance Lynn and Dylan Cease rounding out the staff. Lopez can be safely dropped to the waiver wire in all keepers formats and avoided in season-long drafts.

Chicago White Sox pitcher Reynaldo Lopez will make his first spring start on Saturday against the Cleveland Indians. Lopez has a crucial spring training ahead as he's currently competing for a spot in the White Sox starting rotation to open the year. His primary competitors for rounding out the rotation are Dylan Cease and Carlos Rodon. Lopez struggled through his eight starts in 2020. He posted a 6.49 ERA and 1.633 WHIP while averaging 8.2 K/9. He'll need a strong spring to give himself a chance for some early season starts.

Chicago White Sox right-handed pitcher Reynaldo Lopez is not on the teams roster for the wild-card series versus Oakland after a rough 2020 regular season. Lopez could return for either the ALDS or ALCS should the club advance, but in the three-game format versus Oakland, hell be unavailable. In eight regular season starts, Lopez was clobbered to the tune of a 6.49 ERA and 7.63 FIP, allowing nine home runs in 26 1/3 innings pitched. Hes likely a long-relief or No. 5 starter option for the club in a break-glass scenario if they advance, giving him little fantasy intrigue.
