The Atlanta Braves are expected to get All-Star pitcher Reynaldo Lopez back into the rotation later this week.
starter Reynaldo Lopez took the mound for the Triple-A Gwinnett Stripers for a rehab start as he works his way back to the Braves rotation.He threw 71 pitches with 47 of them being for strikes . Lopez came out for the fifth inning but didn’t record an out. Through his first four innings, he gave up just one run. He gave up a triple, hit a batter and then an RBI single before being lifted for Allan Winans, who would finish the game.
This should be the only rehab start for Lopez regardless of his performance. He normally pitches five or six innings. He’s close enough to a normal workload that the Braves will bring him back barring a setback in the coming days. In 19 starts this season, Lopez has a 2.06 ERA with a 1.19 WHIP, a 203 ERA+ and 102 strikeouts over 104 1/3 innings pitched.when he exited his start against the New York Mets after just three scoreless innings. He was diagnosed with right forearm inflammation. There were hopes he would not have to go the IL, but that didn’t work out.Along with Lopez on his way back, the Braves will be activating center fielder Michael Harris II from the 60-day IL on Wednesday.
