Futures Game rosters and scouting reports
Lopez had a 3.18 ERA with 100 strikeouts and 25 walks in 76 1/3 innings through 14 starts for Double-A Harrisburg, which earned him a promotion to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.
He signed with the Nationals out of the Dominican Republic in 2012, and commands a fastball that sits in the mid-90s and at times can touch triple-digits.
