Steps in at shortstop
Lopez started at shortstop and went 1-for-3 in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Twins.
Analyse
Lopez filled in at shortstop after the Rangers placed Corey Seager on the 7-day concussion list. Lopez should share starts with Josh Smith and Ezequiel Duran while Seager is sidelined.

Sitting after four straight starts
Lopez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
Analyse
Though Corey Seager (ribs/jaw) will be left out of the starting nine for a third straight game, the left-handed-hitting Lopez will head to the bench while the Red Sox send a lefty (Connelly Early) to the hill. Lopez had started in each of the last four games, and he could have a path to seeing at least semi-regular work even if Seager avoids a stint on the injured list. Texas already moved Evan Carter (oblique) to the IL on Saturday, which could free up more reps at second base for Lopez if super-utility man Ezequiel Duran ends up seeing more time in the outfield in the short term. Since signing with Texas on May 27, Lopez is slashing .317/.364/.415 with one home run, one steal, five RBI and four runs in 13 games.
