The Diamondbacks have signed infielder to a minor league deal, per . The veteran has been a signed to the Triple-A Reno Aces and should join that club in the coming days. Lopez, 30, has been fairly nomadic this year. He signed a minor league deal with the Cubs in February but then opted out when he didnt make the Opening Day roster. He signed a big league deal with the Angels but was designated for a signment about three weeks into the season. He elected free agency and returned Mike Bibby Jersey to the Cubs on a major league deal. He lasted about a month on that roster before getting another DFA and heading to the open market yet again, which allowed him to sign this deal with Arizona. Around those transactions, he has a .042/.179/.042 line in 28 plate appearances this year. For his career, his offense has been better than that but still below league average. He has a .245/.310/.311 line and 72 wRC+ in 2,374 plate appearances on the whole. Though he lacks punch at the plate, Lopez can provide value with his glove. He has over 2,000 career innings at both middle infield positions. Defensive Runs Saved considered him good at short until souring on him recently. Outs Above Average is still a fan, giving Lopez a +33 in his career, though a lot of that is an outlier +25 in 2021. Both metrics consider him solidly above average at the keystone. Hes also spent time at the infield corners and in left field. The Diamondbacks have a fairly crowded infield mix at present. , , and are getting regular playing time from right to left, with and mixing in as well. and are platooning in the designated hitter spot most of the time. But as the old saying goes, theres no such thing as a bad minor league deal. The Snakes also just lost a different veteran infielder as opted out of his minor league deal this week, so Lopez will effectively replace Vargas as the clubs veteran non-roster infielder.
