Pitchers throw bullpen sessions in between starts that typically are similar to a 2-3 inning stint. Regular warmup with around 40-50 pitches thrown at normal effort.
That’s why Lopez was available last night.
Personally thought he looked dynamic. The stuff played up in that short stint.
If they could find enough SP to make it work, I really like Lopez as a late-inning reliever. Similar to Wade Davis, his power stuff and variety of pitches would be tough to handle late.
