Reynaldo Lopez to Work on his Mechanics in Relief Role
Atlanta Braves pitcher Reynaldo Lopez is heading to the bullpen for now, according to Mark Bowman. The team is shifting Lopez to the pen so he can focus on his mechanical issues. The right-hander has walked 11 batters across his five starts and doesn't look sharp at the moment. The Braves want to keep JR Ritchie in the rotation, and Spencer Strider (oblique) is going to return soon. With that being said, Lopez is the odd man out at the moment. The right-hander is unlikely to offer any kind of reliable fantasy value while pitching out of the bullpen. It's unclear when Lopez will return to the rotation, so fantasy managers might want to look for another option.
