2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lopez served as a dominant setup man for a couple of years. When Atlanta signed him last offseason, the assumption was he'd be used in that capacity. However, they made other moves to fortify their bullpen, but there were rotation openings, so Lopez was stretched out in the spring, breaking camp as a starter. Lopez responded with a sparkling 1.99 ERA in 26 appearances (25 starts), though the corresponding 3.44 xFIP and 3.58 SIERA lent some pause. Even so, an ERA in that range exceeds expectations. A bloated 87.0 percent left on base rate deflated Lopez's ERA, as did a low 7.5 percent home run per fly ball mark. He missed time over the second half with right forearm inflammation and right shoulder tightness, but neither is a long-term concern, and the time off was beneficial after averaging 63 innings over the prior three seasons. If someone wants to pay for his sub-2.00, let them. Pay for a guy you'll deploy for almost all his starts, and you'll be fine. Read Past Outlooks
