I believe Lopez will perform a lot better than people expect, both today and beyond. He pitched well Friday, granted in a low leverage stress free outing. Lopez will be important to take up 1-2 innings throughout the second half, save stress on Bummer and Hendricks on days Kopech/Crochet aren't scheduled for their development outings. I expect him to remain up the rest of the season if he can pitch well the next two weeks, and the Sox passing on a swing man before the deadline.

Foster and to a lessor extent Jimmy Cordero were able to perform in that role last year, but Foster was ineffective and Cordero is out. Ruiz is the other 1-2 inning guy, but he really should be reserved for very low leverage situations (up/down several runs).
