Jacob Lopez Experiencing Forearm Tightness
Jacob Lopez (forearm) got lit up for nine runs in two innings in Sunday's 11-4 loss to the Mariners, and it was later revealed that he was dealing with left forearm tightness, reports Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. The issue apparently dates back to his previous start on Tuesday, where he also experienced soreness following the game. Forearm soreness is a scary thing to hear when discussing starting pitchers, as it's usually the precursor to Tommy John, although Lopez said this feels different than when he needed the surgery previously in his career. Expect updates on the severity of the injury to be released in the upcoming days, but any type of injured list stint could potentially jeopardize the rest of 2025 for the youngster.
