Lopez was officially recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to make Saturday's start against the Braves, the Washington Post's Chelsea Janes reports.
The hard-throwing righty will make his third big league start Saturday in a favorable matchup against the Braves. Lopez had a 28.3-percent strikeout rate in his first two starts, but also allowed 20 baserunners (14 hits, six walks) in 8.2 innings. The strikeouts offer a nice base for owners looking to stream Lopez on Saturday, but he remains a major ERA and WHIP risk.
