Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said Pablo López will start on Opening Day for the Twins.
Fantasy Impact
Baldelli made the announcement on a podcast. It came earlier than when it is usually announced, but it should come as no surprise. Lopez is looking to bounce back after posting a 4.08 ERA across 32 starts last season.
Pablo Lopez took the loss Friday, yielding two earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out eight over 5 2/3 innings against the Orioles.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the solid strikeout numbers, Lopez's inability to pitch deep into the game and control the Orioles' lineup contributed to his 10th loss of the season. His season ERA slightly increased to 4.08, and his WHIP now stands at 1.19, reflecting a season that has been solid but occasionally marred by inefficiency. With a strong 9.6 K/9 and a 4.83 strikeout-to-walk ratio, Lopez remains a valuable fantasy asset, though his inconsistency in game length and run prevention can be frustrating. His performance today is a reminder of the volatility that can affect even seasoned starters.
Pablo Lopez allowed two earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out four over 6.1 innings in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Guardians.
Fantasy Impact
Despite a decent outing, Lopez couldn't secure the win, leaving his record unchanged. His performance was roughly in line with his season averages, maintaining a solid ERA and WHIP. However, his inability to notch more strikeouts in this outing could be a slight concern for fantasy managers relying on him for those points. Given his overall strong season stats, including a high K/9 rate and a commendable strikeout-to-walk ratio, Lopez remains a viable starter in most fantasy formats, but this game highlights some potential volatility in his performances.
Pablo Lopez delivered a masterful performance in Tuesday's 10-5 victory over the Angels, tossing seven scoreless innings while scattering eight hits and a walk, and striking out 10.
Fantasy Impact
This outing not only underscores his ability to suppress runs but also highlights his knack for racking up strikeouts, which is crucial for fantasy managers. With a season ERA now improved from 3.88 and a WHIP that remains impressive, Lopez continues to solidify his status as a top-tier fantasy starter. His high strikeout rate and excellent strikeout-to-walk ratio should keep him in the upper echelon of fantasy pitchers, especially in formats that reward strikeouts heavily.
Pablo Lopez delivered a solid performance, allowing three earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out nine over 6.2 innings in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Rays.
Fantasy Impact
This outing showcased Lopez's ability to rack up strikeouts and maintain control, which has been a consistent theme throughout the season. His ERA remains a bit elevated at 4.05, but his impressive 9.6 K/9 and 5.09 strikeout-to-walk ratio underline his potential value in fantasy leagues, particularly in categories that reward strikeouts and WHIP. While the earned runs today slightly tarnished his line, his overall performance this season and ability to secure wins should keep him rostered in most formats.
