Lopez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
After receiving a promotion from Triple-A Worcester on Sept. 1 when Yairo Munoz joined Xander Bogaerts, Enrique Hernandez and Christian Arroyo on the COVID-19 injured list, Lopez proceeded to start each of the past five games at second base, going 2-for-12 with a pair of doubles and a walk. Taylor Motter will get the nod at the keystone Monday, and he and Lopez are likely to continue sharing time at the position until the Red Sox get some reinforcements from the IL. Hernandez appears to be the closest to being activated; he rejoined the team Monday and could be reinstated from the IL as soon as Tuesday, according to Alex Speier of The Boston Globe.
