Athletics' Jacob Lopez: Allows one run in relief outing
Lopez allowed one earned run on one hit and two walks over one-plus inning out of the bullpen in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rangers. He struck out one.
With his turn in the rotation set to be skipped during the Athletics' upcoming three-game series against the Royals, Lopez was deployed out of the bullpen Sunday and produced mixed results. The southpaw entered in the fifth inning and tossed a scoreless frame, but allowed a run and multiple baserunners without recording an out in the sixth inning, leaving Justin Sterner to work out of the jam. Lopez has been disappointing to begin 2026, posting a 5.84 ERA and 1.95 WHIP with a 2-1 record across 24.2 innings. He's tentatively lined up to re-enter the rotation next weekend against the Guardians, though his next start remains unconfirmed.
