Nicky Lopez Designated For Assignment by Chicago Cubs on May 19, 2025

Lopez has had a rough start this season, playing in 19 games with only 1 hit in 24 at-bats, resulting in a .042 batting average. His on-base percentage stands at .179, with no home runs or stolen bases. These stats might have contributed to the team's decision to designate him for assignment.

This move could impact other players like Patrick Wisdom or Nick Madrigal, who play similar positions. The Cubs face the Chicago White Sox in their next game, and this transaction could affect the team's lineup choices. Lopez's recent performance includes no hits in his last three games and a total of four strikeouts this season.
