Lopez went 1-for-4 with an RBI single and a stolen base in Sunday's 6-5 win over St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

The shortstop didn't get cold during a lengthy rain delay, as he delivered a go-ahead RBI single in the ninth inning. Lopez stole second with two outs, but he was left on base. While he's usually hit at or near the bottom of the order, Lopez was bumped up to the No. 2 spot for his two starts in St. Louis. He's gone 5-for-16 during a modest four-game hitting streak. The 26-year-old is batting .277 with nine stolen bases, 25 RBI and 43 runs scored through 333 plate appearances.

Lopez is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez hits the bench after starting 10 straight games, a stretch in which he hit .265/.265/.412. Hanser Alberto will start at shortstop in his absence.

Lopez will sit Monday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez will sit against veteran southpaw Dallas Keuchel, marking the second straight day he's been on the bench against a lefty. Hanser Alberto will get another start at shortstop in his absence.

Lopez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hanser Alberto will pick up the start at shortstop for the lefty-hitting Lopez, who takes a seat with southpaw Tarik Skubal on the hill for Detroit. Lopez had started in each of Kansas City's first 17 games of July, slashing .339/.413/.429 with zero home runs, one stolen base, nine runs and 10 RBI.

Lopez went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-8 win over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez made an impact from the No. 9 spot in the order in Saturday's comeback win. The contact-hitting infielder has gone 10-for-24 (.417) with three doubles, seven RBI and six runs scored in his last seven games, including four multi-hit efforts. The 26-year-old isn't in the lineup Sunday for a well-earned day of rest, but he should be available as a pinch hitter if necessary.

Lopez went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs and four RBI in a 9-2 victory versus Baltimore on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez twice came up with two runners on base, and he delivered in each instance. The infielder knocked a two-run single in the second inning and a two-run double in the seventh. The four RBIs were a season-high mark for Lopez, who entered the contest with only 15 runs batted in across 81 games.

Lopez has hit .342 with two stolen bases and five runs scored in his last 12 games.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez has found some success as a contact hitter recently. He's filled in as the near-everyday shortstop since Adalberto Mondesi (oblique) went on the injured list for the third time this season. Overall, Lopez is slashing .266/.353/.329 with no home runs, eight stolen bases, 12 RBI and 33 runs scored through 243 plate appearances.

Lopez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Hanser Alberto will step in at shortstop for Lopez, who has taken the reins of the position since Adalberto Mondesi (oblique) was moved to the injured list last week for the third time this season. While starting in each of the Royals' last 11 games, Lopez has gone 14-for-36 (.389 average) with six runs and a stolen base.

Lopez will start at shortstop and bat ninth Tuesday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

With Adalberto Mondesi (oblique) heading back to the injured list Monday for the third time this season, Lopez once again appears poised to recapture an everyday role in the middle infield. Aside from going an impressive 7-for-7 on stolen-base attempts while batting .260 and getting on base at a strong .350 clip, Lopez provides little excitement from a fantasy standpoint. He possesses minimal power (three home runs in 799 career MLB plate appearances), and his placement in the bottom third of the Kansas City lineup will limit his run-scoring and run-producing opportunities.

Lopez went 3-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 7-3 win over Boston.

EDGE Analysis

The infielder has found a groove, going 10-for-17 (.588) across his last five games. Lopez is now slashing .260/.350/.329 with seven stolen bases, 12 RBI and 29 runs scored through 205 plate appearances this year. Adalberto Mondesi left Sunday's game with a side injury -- if he's forced to miss time, Lopez would likely pick up playing time at shortstop.
