Player Outlook
After beginning 2025 as Miami's primary second baseman,Otto Lopez took over for Xavier Edwards at shortstop in May, so he'll have dual-position eligibility for 2026. Lopez batted .270 with 20 steals over 117 games as a rookie in 2024, but he was unable to translate that production into a full season. However, he clubbed 15 homers last season compared to just six in 2024 and still recorded 15 stolen bases. Despite the increase in homers, Lopez's slugging percentage actually dropped nine points to .368 since he hit fewer doubles despite having 161 more plate appearances. His strong defense at a premier position should allow him to maintain a regular spot in the lineup for 2026, and that volume will be critical to Lopez's fantasy upside. The power output could be sustainable given that Lopez underperformed his .421 xSLG, and he should have a decent chance of getting back up to 20 stolen bases in 2026. If he can do that while rebounding his average, the shortstop would be a quality fantasy contributor.

RotowireLopez went 4-for-5 with a two-run homer and a two-run single during Friday's 19-9 loss to the Mets.Friday's game was out of reach for the Marlins after giving up 12 runs through the first two innings, but Lopez was able to make the result slightly more respectable with four RBI, though his two-run homer in the ninth came off of catcher Luis Torrens. Even so, Lopez's four RBI were the most of his career and brought him up to 65 RBI on the season, which is second most on the Marlins behind Kyle Stowers (73). Lopez has gone 9-for-27 (.333) with one steal, one homer and seven RBI over his last seven games.... See More... See LessMarlins' Otto Lopez: Rejoining lineup Sunday

RotowireLopez went 1-for-4 with a walk, two RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Diamondbacks.Lopez got a rare look at leadoff while Xavier Edwards rested for Sunday's game. Lopez has certainly earned the opportunity to fill in atop the lineup -- he's hit safely in his last 10 games, going 17-for-41 (.415) with 15 RBI in that span. The infielder has lifted his batting average from .230 to .260 during the streak, and he's added a .723 OPS, eight home runs, 40 RBI, 36 runs scored and nine steals over 67 contests this season....

After popping a homer in his return from an ankle injury May 18, Lopez has been cold, batting .167 (3-for-18) across five games, though he has notched a pair of steals.

RotowireLopez was diagnosed with a Grade 2 right ankle sprain Saturday, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.Lopez felt discomfort in the ankle Friday and was seen wearing a walking boot Saturday.

RotowireLopez went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and walk in a 4-3 loss to the Pirates on Friday.With his team trailing 4-1 in the bottom of the ninth inning, Lopez gave the Marlins new life with a two-run shot to narrow the gap. The 26-year-old is not known as a power threat with just seven home runs at the major-league level over 419 at-bats, but he enjoyed a solid .270 batting average in 2024 and plays strong defense, so he should be a fixture in the Miami lineup....

RotowireLopez went 2-for-3 with two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals.The second baseman touched up Erick Fedde for a two-run homer in the fourth inning before taking Roddery Munoz deep for a solo shot in the sixth. The blasts were Lopez's first extra-base hits this spring, and the 26-year-old didn't display much power in the minors, so it's unlikely this performance was a sign of things to come. His primary fantasy appeal will come on the basepaths -- Lopez swiped 20 bags in 24 attempts over 117 regular-season games in 2024 while slashing .270/.313/.377.... See More...
