Alejo Lopez not in Cincinnati's Monday lineup

The Cincinnati Reds did not include Alejo Lopez in their lineup for Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

What It Means:

Lopez will take the night off Monday while Jose Barrero enters the lineup at shortstop and bats eighth. Kyle Farmer will take over for Lopez at designated hitter.

Lopez has done well with his opportunities this season, batting .285 through his 141 plate appearances so far. He has only hit 1 home run, but has 15 runs, 10 RBI, and 3 stolen bases.
