Nicky Lopez hitting eighth Thursday for White Sox
Chicago White Sox infielder Nicky Lopez will start on second base and bat eighth in Thursday's series opener against right-hander Ben Lively and the Cleveland Guardians.
What It Means
Lopez was the leadoff man in his last 13 starts against right-handers, but the White Sox will move him down for Thursday's opener. Tommy Pham will remain in the leadoff spot for Chicago and Braden Shewmake will return to the bench.
numberFire's models project Lopez for 7.7 and Pham for 9.9 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the White Sox's implied total (3.67) is No. 11 out of 14 active teams in the majors today.
