The Miami Marlins announced that infielder Luis Lopez has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a Grade 2 ankle sprain. The team expects his absence could last three to six weeks, leaving a significant gap in their infield. Replacing Lopez on the roster is catcher Nick Fortes, who was previously injured. Lopez has had a modest offensive performance with the Marlins but is valued for his defensive skills and base running. Miami will need to look to other players like Javier Sanoja and Graham Pauley to cover for him during his recovery.
