Pablo López News
Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez did his part to keep his team in the game during Wednesday's defeat to the visiting New York Yankees, registering a quality start with 6 1/3 innings of three-run ball on a season-high 10 hits and no walks while fanning a season-low three batters. Lopez only threw two clean innings on Wednesday, but he did a great job of limiting the damage for his third straight quality start to begin the month of May. The 28-year-old fantasy stalwart takes a solid 3.93 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 58:8 K:BB over 50 1/3 innings (nine starts) for the Twins into his next scheduled appearance during Monday's series opener against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park. Although it's a favorable matchup on paper, Lopez yielded five runs across four innings in one start against Washington a year ago.
Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez looked sharp on the mound during Thursday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The right-hander went 6 1/3 innings, allowing four hits, and striking out 10 batters in the win. Lopez didn't walk anyone and threw over 60 of his pitches for strikes in this game. He'll take his 3.89 ERA into his next start against the New York Yankees. Despite a tough matchup, Lopez remains a must-start in fantasy formats.
The Minnesota Twins right-hander Pablo Lopez earned his third win with six strong innings on Saturday afternoon over the Boston Red Sox. Lopez had eight strikeouts and a walk while surrendering one run, one walk, and five hits. Lopez lowered his ERA from 4.83 to 4.30 with the solid outing. Lopez now has 45 strikeouts in 38 innings this season. Many fantasy players drafted Lopez as their staff ace this spring. Lopez is right at his career norms with a 29.4K% and 5.6 BB%, so we can expect Lopez to continue to provide worry-free innings in 2024.

Many hoped Pablo Lopez would become an ace with Miami, but it was a trade to Minnesota that helped the now 28-year-old reach his full potential. He went 11-8 with a 3.66 ERA and 3.28 xFIP over 194 IP in his first season as a Twin, posting an impressive 29.2 K% and 6 BB% along the way. There are two reasons for Lopez's success. First, his fastball got better with a velocity spike (94.9 mph vs. 93.5 in 2022) and spin rate increase (2,262 RPM vs. 2,196 in 2022). The resulting 15.8 SwStr% and 60.9 Zone% made Lopez's fastball one of the best in the game. Second, he introduced a slider to his repertoire with a 15.6 SwStr% and 46.1 Zone%. Lopez rounds out his arsenal with a change (14.7 SwStr%, 46.7 Zone%, 36.8% chase rate) and curve (16.8 SwStr%, 38.1 Zone%, 35.8% chase), giving him four quality pitches to attack with. The AL Central remains MLB's weakest division, so Lopez should have favorable matchups to look forward to in 2024 as well. Lopez is expensive at an ADP of 45.45, but he's worth the investment.
