Lopes was reassigned to minor-league camp Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Lopes served as a non-roster invitee this spring and performed well in Cactus League play, but he was unable to land a spot on the Padres' Opening Day roster. After hitting .360 with a home run, nine RBI, eight runs and six stolen bases over 22 spring games this year, he should be in the mix to be called up if the Padres need depth at some point.

Lopes is slashing .441/.462/.618 with a home run, eight RBI, eight runs and six stolen bases in Cactus League play, and he's in contention for one of the Padres' final roster spots, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lopes hasn't done much as a major leaguer to this point in his career, slashing .246/.310/.352 with three homers and 11 steals over 290 career plate appearances. However, he's turning heads this spring with his standout play, as he's tied for third among all players in hits (15) and stolen bases (six). Lopes last played in the majors with Milwaukee in 2021, logging just 11 at-bats and notching one hit, but Acee suggests that he may have a chance to break camp with San Diego on the strength of his spring showing. He's likely in competition with Rougned Odor, Jose Azocar and David Dahl -- each of whom has been productive in exhibition play as well -- for what figures to be the two final spots on the Padres' bench.

Lopes, who signed a minor-league contract with the Padres in December, has received an invitation to big-league spring training.
EDGE Analysis
Lopes was in the Rockies organization last season and couldn't battle his way above Triple-A Albuquerque. The 28-year-old outfielder is a career .246/.310/.352 hitter in 94 games (290 plate appearances) at the MLB level.

Lopes was reassigned to minor league camp Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Lopes spent the 2021 season with the Brewers organization, starting seven games and batting .100. He joined the Rockies in December and will begin the 2022 campaign with Triple-A Albuquerque. Lopes has seen his production at the MLB level decrease over his three seasons with appearances in the league.

Lopes agreed to a minor-league deal with Colorado, according to the MLB transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Lopes spent the majority of the 2021 season with Triple-A Nashville as a member of the Brewers' organization. He hit only .223/.303/.398 across 370 plate appearances, though he played at every position on the diamond besides first base and catcher. That defensive versatility could lead to Lopes earning time in Colorado for limited stretches during the 2022 campaign.

Lopes cleared waivers Saturday and was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Lopes only appeared in seven major-league games this season, going 1-for-10 at the plate. He'll remain in an organizational depth role but is unlikely to see the field again this season.

The Brewers designated Lopes for assignment Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The transaction clears room on the 40-man roster for pitcher Colin Rea, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Nashville ahead of Wednesday's game in St. Louis. If Lopes clears waivers, he'll likely be outrighted to Triple-A.

Lopes was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Lopes was recalled by the Brewers on Saturday and went 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter in Sunday's series finale against the Cubs. He'll head back to Nashville after Willy Adames (quadriceps) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

Lopes was recalled by Milwaukee from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Lopes has spent the majority of the season in Nashville, where he's hit just .223/.303/.404 across 356 plate appearances. However, he's able to play all over the field defensively, a positive with Avisail Garcia (back) currently sidelined. Luke Maile was optioned to Triple-A Nashville in the corresponding move.

Lopes was called up Sunday and went 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter in the team's win over the Cardinals. However, he'll now head back to the minors after Kolten Wong (personal) was reinstated from the paternity list Monday.
