The White Sox have placed infielder Nicky Lopez on waivers as part of a strategy likely aiming to give him a chance for playoff eligibility elsewhere.
Lopez has struggled offensively this season with a .238/.310/.290 line, while his defensive metrics tell a complicated story of his capabilities.
With the White Sox's dismal 31-104 record, they are currently the furthest team from playoff contention, prompting roster adjustments through waivers.
While Lopez's defensive skills have been strong overall, he has recently seen a drop with -10 Defensive Runs Saved at shortstop, which seems anomalous.
