Otto Lopez of Miami Marlins Placed on 10-Day Injured List Due to Right Ankle Injury, Out for at Least Two Weeks
Otto Lopez of the Miami Marlins has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right ankle injury and will be out for at least two weeks.
What It Means
Otto Lopez's absence due to his ankle injury means the Miami Marlins will need to adjust their infield lineup. Lopez has played 30 games this season, starting in 29, with a batting average of .229. His recent performance shows a slight uptick with a .333 average over the last three games.
With Lopez out, players like Javier Sanoja or Ronny Simon might see more time at second base. The Marlins' next game against the Los Angeles Dodgers at loanDepot Park could be affected by these lineup changes. Lopez's spot in the batting order will need filling, and his recent stats show he was batting fifth in some games with a .333 average in that position.
