Twins' Pablo Lopez exits due to shoulder tightness
Jun 3, 2025; West Sacramento, California, USA; Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez (49) throws a pitch against the Athletics during the first inning at Sutter Health Park. Mandatory Credit: Dennis Lee-Imagn Images Minnesota right-hander Pablo Lopez departed the Twins' Tuesday contest against the Athletics due to tightness in his pitching shoulder.
Lopez was warming up for the bottom of the sixth inning at West Sacramento, Calif., and after his third toss, he motioned to the dugout. He left after a brief conversation with a trainer and manager Rocco Baldelli.
Lopez was in line for the victory when he departed, and the Twins expanded their lead to 10-3 after eight innings. He gave up two runs and four hits over five innings while striking out four and walking three.
The 29-year-old Venezuela native made his 11th start of the season and entered the contest with a 4-3 record. His ERA slightly rose to 2.82.
Lopez is in his eighth major league season, his third with the Twins. He was an All-Star in 2023 and won a career-high 15 games last season.
