Jacob Lopez: Breaking News
Bound for Triple-A after poor start
Lopez is set to head to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday, Jason Burke of SI.com reports. Lopez fell apart in the third inning of Sunday's loss to the Yankees, finishing with a line of seven runs on five hits and two walks with three strikeouts over two-plus innings. In the postgame, Burke noted that manager "Mark Kotsay said they needed five or six innings from [Lopez] on Sunday, and the performance, with the added mental miscue of not covering first [base in the third inning], has led to the left-hander being optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas." The 28-year-old has largely struggled in 2026, posting a 4-3 record with a 6.75 ERA and 1.84 WHIP across 50.2 innings (12 appearances). A corresponding move and further clarity on who will replace Lopez in the rotation will likely come Monday.
Earns fourth win in bulk relief
Lopez (4-2) earned the win Sunday against the Padres. He allowed one run on six hits and a walk while striking out three over 4.2 innings. After Luis Medina recorded four outs as the opener, Lopez entered in the second inning and was able to work through traffic to limit the Padres' scoring efforts en route to the win. The southpaw has struggled with homers this season but managed to keep the ball in the yard Sunday after allowing at least one long ball in each of his previous four appearances. It remains to be seen whether the Athletics will continue deploying Lopez behind an opener, though he'll carry a 5.73 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 35:31 K:BB across 48.2 innings (11 games) into his next outing, which is tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Yankees.
