Pablo Lopez to Have Normal Offseason
Minnesota Twins president of baseball operations Derek Falvey said on Tuesday that right-hander Pablo Lopez (forearm) is "fully healthy" and will "be able to have a normal offseason routine," according to Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic. Lopez missed time early in the 2025 season with a Grade 2 teres major strain and was shut down in late September due to a mild right-forearm strain. The 29-year-old has since recovered and should be a full-go for spring training and the 2026 regular season next year. It's great news for the Twins, as Lopez was pitching like a top-of-the-rotation starter when he was healthy. The Venezuelan hurler finished his third year in Minnesota with a 5-4 record, career-low 2.74 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 73 strikeouts, and 20 walks in 75 2/3 frames over his 14 starts. Lopez is a peg below a true ace for fantasy purposes, and his home ballpark should continue to be a plus for his 2026 value if he remains with the Twins.
