Lopez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After starting at shortstop in 10 of the Royals' first 14 games of June while slashing a respectable .267/.389/.300, Lopez's time as an everyday player looks to be over. Adalberto Mondesi (hamstring) was limited to a bench role Tuesday after being reinstated from the injured list, but he'll handle shortstop duties Wednesday and should be able to play the position on a regular basis moving forward. Lopez will likely operate as the top backup for both Mondesi and Whit Merrifield in the middle infield.

Lopez isn't starting Monday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez had started each of the last two games and went 1-for-4 with an RIB, two walks and a stolen base during that time. Hanser Alberto will start at shortstop and bat eighth.

Lopez went 0-for-1 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 11-2 loss to Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

With Adalberto Mondesi (hamstring) out again, Lopez has regained a regular presence in the starting nine. The 26-year-old has a .224/.320/.301 slash line with six stolen bases, 10 RBI and 25 runs scored through 186 plate appearances this year. He's added three triples and six doubles. Lopez is likely to see the strong side of a platoon at shortstop, with Hanser Alberto handling the weak side.

Lopez is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez has filled in at shortstop since Adalberto Mondesi suffered a hamstring injury on May 31, but he'll get a breather Friday. Hanser Alberto will start at shortstop and bat ninth Friday.

Lopez will start at shortstop and bat ninth Sunday against the Twins, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Adalberto Mondesi (hamstring) moving back to the injured list Sunday, Lopez should have a fairly clear path to an everyday role in the middle infield in the short term. Lopez had already started in three of the past four games for Mondesi, who was placed on the IL once it became apparent his injury was more than a day-to-day concern. Lopez has chipped in five stolen bases this season, but a .229 average, little power and a low placement in the batting order will render him mostly a one-category play in fantasy.

Lopez will sit for the second straight game Friday against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez's .609 OPS this season actually represents the best mark of his three-year career, so it's no surprise to see him lose playing time. Adalberto Mondesi's return from an oblique injury Tuesday dealt the first blow to Lopez's starting chances, while Hunter Dozier's return from a concussion Friday could send him to the bench on a regular basis. Dozier starts in right field Friday, keeping Whit Merrifield at second base and Lopez on the bench.

Lopez isn't starting Thursday's game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez will retreat to the bench for the second time in the last three games after he went 0-for-3 with a strikeout Wednesday. Whit Merrifield will start at second base while Jorge Soler takes over in right field. Lopez is still the likely favorite for playing time at second base, but he could see a slight downtick in playing time now that Adalberto Mondesi has returned to action at shortstop.

Lopez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 5-1 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The infielder has picked up two stolen bases in his last three games. He's up to four steals in 128 plate appearances overall. Lopez sports a .234/.331/.308 slash line while often hitting at the bottom of Kansas City's order. He has yet to hit a home run, but he's picked up three triples, two doubles, seven RBI and 19 runs in 38 games as the near-everyday shortstop.

Lopez went 1-for-6 with a stolen base and a run scored across both halves of Friday's doubleheader versus the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez contributed to Kansas City's 6-2 win in Game 1. He got aboard with a single in the seventh inning, stole second and came around to score on a Carlos Santana single. Lopez has shown some modest speed with three stolen bases in 37 games this year. He's slashed .233/.333/.311 with no home runs, seven RBI and 19 runs scored across 124 plate appearances while filling in for Adalberto Mondesi (oblique) at shortstop.

Lopez went 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-7 loss to Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez walked and scored a Jorge Soler three-run home run in the eighth inning. In the ninth, Lopez hit a single and scored on Soler's three-RBI double. The 26-year-old Lopez hadn't produced multiple hits in a game since April 20. He's slashing .220/.327/.308 with no home runs, two stolen bases, seven RBI and 17 runs scored in 111 plate appearances. With only four hits in his last 35 at-bats, Lopez has gone fairly cold at the plate.
