Lopez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Lopez starts more often than not against right-handed pitching, but he's been routinely exiting the lineup against left-handed pitching of late. With southpaw JP Sears toeing the rubber for Oakland, Lopez will give way to Jacob Amaya at shortstop.

Lopez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
With lefty Matthew Boyd on the bump for the Guardians, the lefty-hitting Lopez will give way to Jacob Amaya at shortstop. Lopez had started in five of the White Sox's six matchups with right-handed pitchers in September, so he should maintain a strong-side platoon role in the middle infield, at least until Brooks Baldwin (wrist) comes off the injured list.

Lopez went 3-for-4 with a solo homer, a walk and a second run scored in Wednesday's 8-1 win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Lopez opened the scoring on the second pitch of the game, taking an Albert Suarez fastball over the right-field fence to put Chicago ahead 1-0 in the first inning. It's the first long ball of the year for the 29-year-old Lopez, who'd been stuck in a 6-for-39 (.154) slump in 12 contests coming into Wednesday. Overall, the shortstop is slashing .241/.313/.299 with 37 runs scored, 18 RBI and five stolen bases across 405 plate appearances this year.

Lopez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
With lefty Sean Manaea on the hill, the lefty-hitting Lopez will retreat to the bench for the series finale. The White Sox recently placed Lopez on waivers, but with the 29-year-old going unclaimed, he appears set to stick around in the organization for the rest of the season. Lopez should continue to play regularly against right-handed pitching.

The White Sox placed Lopez on waivers Thursday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
In his first season with the Southsiders, Lopez has slashed .238/.310/.290 with 17 RBI across 387 plate appearances. The other 29 clubs now have the opportunity to add the 29-year-old to their roster for the final month of the season and pay what's left of his $4.3 million salary; however, his poor performance makes it likely that he passes through waivers unclaimed and remains with the Sox.

Lopez isn't in the White Sox's lineup for Saturday's game against Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
With formidable lefty Tarik Skubal set to start on the hill for the Tigers, the lefty-hitting Lopez will step out of the lineup Saturday. His absence will move Brooks Baldwin to shortstop while Lenyn Sosa starts at second base and Miguel Vargas covers third.

Lopez isn't in the White Sox's lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
The left-handed bat of Lopez will take a seat to begin Tuesday's contest while southpaw Robbie Ray starts on the hill for San Francisco. As a result, Brooks Baldwin will shift to shortstop while Lenyn Sosa starts at the keystone and bats leadoff.
