CHICAGO -- When the Chicago White Sox called up Reynaldo Lopez from the minors earlier this month, they did so knowing the right-hander was part of their future plans.
But like many of the White Sox prospects who have found their way to the major leagues this season, Lopez is also part of the present as Chicago continues to soldier through the rebuilding process.
Lopez (0-1, 6.97 ERA) will make his third major league start on Friday when the White Sox begin a weekend series against the Tampa Bay Rays at Guaranteed Rate Field.
