    WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The mental battle is underway for Pablo López, who hopes his absence from the field is on the shorter side of the estimated eight- to 12-week window. The Minnesota Twins pitcher isn't overly concerned about his physical recovery from a Grade 2 teres major muscle strain in his right shoulder. López expects to recover and pitch again this season for the Twins, who were routed 14-3 by the Athletics in the series finale at Sutter Heath Park on Thursday afternoon.

    WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. - He's not done for the season, but Pablo López could miss up to three months. The Minnesota Twins announced Wednesday night that their frontline starting pitcher would miss 8-12 weeks with a teres major muscle strain in his throwing shoulder. An MRI revealed that López suffered a Grade 2 strain during Tuesday's victory, a contest he exited after pitching five innings. At the minimum, López won't throw a baseball for the next four weeks, the team said in a statement.

    WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Many factors are involved in the early-season resurgence that led Jhoan Duran to earn reliever of the month honors Tuesday, but it's hard to dismiss the impact of a revamped four-seamer. Though the dip in average velocity of Duran's fastball over the years is well documented, the Minnesota Twins reliever is using a new grip to throw his heater as much as ever and with better results than in any of his big-league seasons aside from his rookie year (2022).

    WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Twins starting pitcher Pablo López exited Tuesday's start against the Athletics with right shoulder tightness. López made three warmup pitches before the start of the sixth inning when he signaled to the Twins dugout for the training staff. After a brief conversation, López walked off the mound with athletic trainer Nick Paparesta. López allowed two earned runs and four hits, and walked three in five innings before exiting with the Twins ahead 5-2.
