Marlins Claim Otto Lopez Off Waivers From Giants
8 months agoThe Miami Marlins claimed infielder Otto Lopez off waivers from the San Francisco Giants on Thursday. The move comes after the Giants designated Lopez for assignment on Monday to make room on the roster for Nick Avila. The 25-year-old Dominican infielder played in nine big-league games with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2021 and 2022 but spent all of last year with Triple-A Buffalo, slashing .258/.313/.343 with two home runs, 35 RBI, 13 stolen bases and 48 runs scored in 84 games played. Lopez can play all around the infield and will give the Marlins some extra organizational infield depth in 2024. He has a career .297/.363/.407 slash line, 19 home runs and 90 stolen bases in his seven years in the minors.
