Why'd Felipe Lopez leave the game?

[digger3122]

Anybody know why he left the game half way through?

Wondering the same thing...he put a nice goose egg in my stat column today...

[digger3122]

Not in the lineup today and so far I can't find anything explaining why.

[bigmoney]

maybe hes a bad player and got benched...

Thanks for your insight.

Probably just a day off.

Any Nats' fans on this site? F Lopez left the game early Sat night (although they were getting blown out at the time, like 10-1) and sat today. I just want to make sure nothing is wrong 'cause I have to commit to a weekly line-up tomorrow.

I can't find anything about an injury, have to assume that they were planning on a day off for him today, they don't play tomorrow, and being as yesterday they were getting blown out they started his rest early. I'd like to know too, Ibanez is on the WW and I want to cut Freddy Sanchez for him - tough call not knowing Lopez status though, as he'll be my only SS eligible...

Felipe Lopez was given Sunday's game off so he could rest his sore legs.

Lopez will return to the starting lineup on Tuesday.
