The Yankees are signing infielder to a minor league deal, reports . Lopez will presumably report to the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders in the coming days. Lopez, 30, has been a major league regular for a few years now. However, he has bounced around in 2025, hitting the fringes of various rosters. He started the year with the Cubs on a minor league deal but opted out when he didnt break camp. That led to a big league deal with the Angels, though he was designated for a signment three weeks into the season. He was then signed by the Cubs, this time to a big league deal, though he was designated for a signment a month later. He then landed a minor league deal with the Diamondbacks but opted out of that deal a few days ago. He has an awful .042/.179/ Mickey Stanley Jersey .042 slash line in the majors this year, though in just 28 scattered plate appearances. He hit .267/.303/.317 on that minor league deal with the Snakes more recently, though that only translated to a wRC+ of 46 in the inflated offensive environment of the Pacific Coast League. In his big league career, he has generally been a glove-first player. He had a strong .300/.365/.378 showing in 2021 but that now looks like a clear outlier. Since then, in over 1200 plate appearances, he has a .229/.300/.283 line. On defense, he has extensive experience in the middle infield, with plenty of time at third base as well. Hes also made brief appearances at first base, left field and even on the mound. The Yankees arent getting much out of their second base position, with not having a great season. They seem likely to at the deadline, with then being moved to second base, pushing LeMahieu into a bench role. For now, Lopez gives them some veteran non-roster depth.
