The Royals signed Lopez to a minor-league contract Wednesday.

Lopez will backfill the Royals' organizational middle-infield depth after Andrew Velazquez was called up to grab Bobby Witt's (back) roster spot. The 30-year-old Lopez had been at Triple-A Tacoma in the Mariners organization, where he slashed .302/.379/.419 with two home runs and a 13:10 BB:K in 43 games. He hasn't played in the majors since 2023.

The Athletics signed Lopez on Monday to a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to spring training.

Lopez reported the news himself on his Instagram account. The 28-year-old is a career .265/.309/.329 hitter over parts of three major-league seasons and is capable of playing all over the diamond.

Atlanta released Lopez on Monday.

9/26/24Rotowire

Signed to a minor-league deal last fall, Lopez received an invitation to big-league spring training with Atlanta but failed to crack the Opening Day roster. He didn't receive a call-up to the majors at any point in 2024 and will now hit free agency in search of a new home heading into 2025. Over his 473 plate appearances with Gwinnett this season, the 28-year-old Lopez slashed .307/.392/.397 with four home runs and 21 stolen bases.

Atlanta reassigned Lopez to minor-league camp March 5.

3/18/24Rotowire

Lopez didn't make much of a push for a spot on the Opening Day roster, as Atlanta had several other players with prior MLB experience competing with him for a utility role. The 27-year-old switch hitter, who appeared in 76 big-league games with the Reds over the past three seasons, is expected to report to Triple-A Gwinnett to begin the 2024 campaign.

Lopez signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Saturday.

10/12/23Rotowire

Lopez elected free agency after being removed from the Reds' 40-man roster earlier this month but has quickly caught on in another organization. He'll likely be in Atlanta's major-league camp during spring training as a non-roster invitee.
