Lopez went 3-for-5 with a triple, two runs scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in Monday's win over the Phillies.
The All-Star shortstop was a terror on the basepaths as he continues a breakout campaign. While he's gone 14 games without a home run, he's still been making an impact, batting .290 (9-for-31) in eight games since the All-Star break with three runs, three RBI and five of his career-high 22 steals.
Lopez (finger) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff Tuesday against the Astros, Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com reports.
Lopez sat out the Marlins' last two games while recovering from a finger injury he suffered while fielding a groundball Saturday. The issue appears to have subsided ahead of Tuesday's contest, however, so he'll reclaim his regular spot at shortstop. The 27-year-old has had an outstanding July up to this point, slashing .345/.377/.618 with two homers, nine RBI, eight runs and two steals in 13 games.
Lopez (finger) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Astros.
Per Kevin Barral of FishonFirst.com, Lopez was spotted on the field playing catch during pregame warmups, but the Marlins will keep him on the bench for the second day in a row while he recovers from right ring finger inflammation. Javier Sanjoa will serve as Miami's shortstop and bat ninth inm Monday's series opener.
