Lopez (forearm) began playing catch Tuesday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Lopez exited his start July 28 with forearm tightness and Atlanta was hopeful that the injury wouldn't require an IL stay. However, Lopez was officially placed on the injured list Monday. Still, he was able to resume his throwing program Tuesday, an encouraging sign for the 30-year-old, who'll be eligible for reinstatement Aug. 17.
