TL;DR

Twins right-hander Pablo López will undergo Tommy John surgery for a torn UCL, sidelining him for the 2026 season and aiming for a 2027 return. It will be López’s second TJ procedure, after one earlier in his career. He’s been a key part of Minnesota’s rotation, though 2025 was interrupted by a teres major strain and a forearm issue. With López out, Joe Ryan is expected to start Opening Day as Minnesota relies on internal options and offseason additions to fill the vacancy.
