Alejo Lopez Stays Hot At Triple-A, Could Return To Majors
4 months agoAtlanta Braves infield prospect Alejo Lopez has enjoyed an excellent season at Triple-A Gwinnett but has been especially impressive as of late and could be a candidate to return to the majors. Across his past seven games, Lopez has been riding a stellar .500/.559/.750 line with three doubles, two triples, 14 RBI, and a 4:3 BB:K ratio. Through 96 games at Triple-A, the infielder has posted a strong .308/.394/.393 line with 17 doubles and 21 stolen bases. Lopez has had a handful of minor stints in the big leagues with Cincinnati over the past few seasons but has never had an extended opportunity. With the recent injury to All-Star third baseman Austin Riley (hand), who is expected to miss approximately six to eight weeks, Lopez could be promoted to serve as a depth option in the Atlanta infield.
