Reynaldo Lopez To Go On Regular Rest This Weekend
5 months agoAtlanta Braves right-hander Reynaldo Lopez will not get an extra day before his next start and will go on regular rest in Sunday's series finale against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies. It will be just the second time this year that Lopez will be on regular rest. In the previous occasion, he lasted 4 2/3 innings against the Pirates on May 25, which was his shortest outing of the season before Tuesday, when Lopez allowed two runs on four hits and four walks in a season-low 4 1/3 frames. Lopez hasn't thrown more than 66 innings either of the past two years as a reliever for the White Sox. Even with Tuesday's poor outing, Lopez has a 2.30 ERA in the six starts he's made with one extra day of rest. He has a 1.32 ERA in eight starts he's made with more than an extra day of rest. He's been great for fantasy managers this year, but after his outing on Tuesday, fantasy managers may be hesitant to roll him out there in a tougher matchup on regular rest this Sunday.
