Reynaldo Lopez Named Fifth Starter
9 months agoThe Atlanta Braves have rewarded Reynaldo Lopez with the fifth spot in the rotation, beating out Bryce Elder among others. Lopez, 30, has been a reliever for the past couple of seasons, but the Braves had big hopes that he could return to his original position as a starting pitcher and so far, so good. In the Grapefruit League, Lopez allowed four runs with six walks and 13 strikeouts in 16 2/3 innings. It has been a few seasons since he was a regular as a starting pitcher, but pitching for one of the best teams in the league, Lopez makes for an intriguing end of the draft flier.
