Christian Lopes operating second base for Athletics on Saturday

Oakland Athletics infielder Christian Lopes is batting seventh in Saturday's contest against the Texas Rangers.

What It Means:

Lopes will man second after Nick Allen was shifted to shortstop, Elvis Andrus was named Saturday's designated hitter, Sean Murphy as moved behind the plate, and Nick Allen was rested.

In a righty versus lefty matchup against Martin Perez, our models project Lopes to score 8.5 FanDuel points at the salary of $2,000.
