The Atlanta Braves did not list Nicky Lopez in their lineup for Monday's game against the New York Mets.
Lopez will take the evening off while the Braves have Vaughn Grissom handle second base and bat ninth.
Lopez had a shocking first few games at the plate for the Braves after joining the team partway through the year, but has cooled off considerably since then; he has just 2 hits in his last 5 games.
