It’s a tough blow for the Twins’ rotation, which has been among baseball’s best this season. López has been a big reason why, with a 2.82 earned-run average across his 11 starts. To fill his place in the rotation, the Twins called up David Festa, who started on Thursday and gave up eight runs in 3⅔ innings against the Athletics.

Minnesota Twins ace Pablo López will miss at least the next two months, and perhaps closer to three, after suffering a grade 2 strain of the teres major muscle in his right shoulder, the club announced Wednesday night.

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Joe Ryan spoke about Pablo Lopez's injury, saying that Zack Wheeler and other pitchers dislike Sacramento.
