Otto Lopez shows spark despite Marlins' narrow loss
by Chris Schommer | Marlins Correspondent | Sun, Aug 11th 8:48am EDT
Otto Lopez went 2-for-5 with a double, one run scored, two RBI, and a stolen base in the Marlins' tight 9-8 defeat to the Padres.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance, though solid, underscores a season that has been challenging for Lopez, marked by a .229 batting average over 74 games. His ability to add stolen bases, now totaling 12 for the season, provides some fantasy value, particularly in categories leagues. However, his high strikeout rate and low walk rate continue to limit his upside. Fantasy managers should view Lopez as a situational player, best utilized when matchups favor his speed and potential for occasional RBI.
