Otto Lopez Sitting on Saturday
Miami Marlins shortstop Otto Lopez (illness) is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Maximo Acosta will play short and hit ninth in a matchup with right-hander Jose Berrios. Lopez has been dealing with an illness and hasn't been in Miami's lineup since Tuesday. The 26-year-old has endured a nightmarish August, having hit .183/.247/.225 with no home runs, three RBI, and 11 strikeouts against five walks in 79 trips to the plate. Lopez does boast a solid .349 xwOBA this season, but his actual results have been unappealing. He's hitting a subpar .240/.309/.361 with 11 homers, 58 RBI, 52 runs scored, and 11 steals in 456 plate appearances.
