Lopez was recalled by the Reds on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

With Devin Mesoraco on the DL and Tucker Barnhart battling a sore hand, Lopez will come up to temporarily serve as the backup to Ramon Cabrera. The 28-year-old Lopez is hitting just .213 in 47 Triple-A games this season and can be safely ignored in nearly all fantasy formats.

The Tigers optioned Lopez to minor league camp Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

A caveat of Lopez's minor league contract with the Tigers was an invitation to spring training, but the catcher picked up a measly seven at-bats with the big club, including no hits after a single to open the spring. With only a brief seven-game stint with the Cubs on his resume, he'll likely spend the bulk of this season at Triple-A Toledo.

Lopez signed a minor league deal with the Tigers that includes and invite to spring training, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez spent time with the Triple-A affiliates of the Angels and Cubs in 2015, and has only seen the majors once -- a brief stint with the Cubs in 2014. He'll look to compete for a spot providing catching depth, though he's unlikely to see a lot of reps behind James McCann, Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Bryan Holaday in Detroit.

Lopez was released by the Angels on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

He finished the year on the 60-day DL with a broken hand, and despite being 28 years old, he has only played in seven MLB games. Lopez could catch on as organizational depth with a team that is weak at catcher, but he is unlikely to develop into a useful fantasy option.

Lopez was traded to the Angels on Friday. The 27-year-old Lopez has just seven games of big-league experience, and he owns an unimpressive .276/.333/.340 slash line for Triple-A Iowa this season. He does have a knack for drawing walks, but is otherwise limited offensively. Lopez will merely provide organizational catching depth for the Angels.

Lopez was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, MLB.com's Carrie Muskat reports. The Cubs have a glut of catchers already, so Lopez will toil away in Iowa waiting for an opportunity.

Lopez was called up from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, MLB.com's Carrie Muskat reports. Lopez will give the Cubs a third catching option for September with the expanded rosters. While he won't see playing time on a consistent basis, he should get a couple spot starts behind the plate and will likely serve as a pinch hitter on multiple occasions.
