He's tentatively scheduled to take on the Cardinals at Busch Stadium for his next start.

Posts another mediocre outing Lopez allowed six runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out five batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against Cleveland on Thursday.

Impact Lopez looked great in giving up just one run over his first five frames, but he fell apart in the sixth. In that inning, the right-hander allowed six hits -- all singles -- and a walk, surrendering five runs while notching only two outs. The disappointing ending resulted in another uninspiring stat line for the hurler, as he's yielded four or more runs in three of his past four starts. Lopez has a 6.95 ERA and 1.36 WHIP over that span, but he's at least continuing to post decent strikeout numbers, notching 24 punchouts across 22 innings over the four-game stretch.

JUNE 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Earns third win Lopez (3-3) earned the win Saturday, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks over 5.2 innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out six.

MAY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Strikes out nine in loss Lopez (2-3) allowed two runs on five hits and three walks over six-plus innings Sunday, striking out nine and taking a loss against the Angels.

Impact Lopez got through three scoreless innings before the Angels finally broke through for a run in the fourth. He later walked the leadoff batter in the seventh and was charged with that run after he left the game. Lopez forced a season-high 19 swinging strikes on 101 pitches while improving his season K:BB to 75:17. He's allowed two or fewer earned runs in three or his last four starts and now owns a 3.90 ERA. Lopez's next start is lined up to be at home against the Blue Jays.

MAY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles continue Lopez did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing five runs on five hits over 4.2 innings against the Dodgers. He struck out four.

Impact Lopez should have gotten through the fifth, but a Kyle Farmer error extended the inning and ended Lopez's night. It was another setback for Lopez, who has surrendered at least five runs in three of his last five starts. The Dodgers popped three homers off Lopez, which was the first team to take Lopez deep more than once in a game. The righty has a 4.00 ERA and 1.07 WHIP on the season.

MAY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Effective in no-decision Lopez allowed a run on two hits and four walks while striking out eight over 6.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Wednesday.

One of those knocks was Juan Soto's solo home run in the seventh inning, Lopez ended April with a couple of shaky starts, but he's allowed just three runs over 13.1 innings across his first two outings in May. The right-hander has a 3.47 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 62:14 K:BB across 49.1 innings through eight starts this season. He's tentatively lined up for two starts next week, which would be road outings versus the Dodgers and the Angels.
