He was dealt to San Francisco on February 13, 2024 and began the season with Triple-A Sacramento. The Giants designated him for assignment on April 1, 2024 and he was claimed off waivers on April 4, 2024 by Miami.

Lopez played in 10 games for Jacksonville in 2024, slashing .436/.488/.718 with 11 walks. He was recalled to Miami on April 15, where he played in a career-high 117 major leaguegames.
