Reynaldo Lopez Returns to Rotation | Atlanta Braves News

Reynaldo Lopez is set to make his return from knee inflammation, slated for a rehab start this Sunday with Triple-A, as the Braves tighten their playoff rotation. Though he’s been sidelined since early August, an MRI showed no serious damage and bullpen work has him ready to re-enter the fray. Lopez, who started the year as a starter before moving to the pen in April, has pitched well since returning to the rotation in June — posting a 3.64 ERA with manageable workload. With Chris Sale anchoring the staff and others battling for spots, Lopez offers both starting potential and bullpen flexibility — making him a key piece as Atlanta heads into October.
