Sent to 15-day IL The Twins placed Lopez (hamstring) on the 15-day injured list Friday.

Lopez sports a 1-1 record, 1.62 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 14:2 K:BB across his first 16.2 innings this season.

MRI reveals strain Lopez was diagnosed with a right hamstring strain on Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact There's a good chance that Lopez will end up moving to the 15-day injured list because of his injury, though no official move has been made yet. The right-hander was able to walk off the field unassisted immediately after injuring himself Tuesday, and the team believes his injury is relatively mild -- both good signs that Lopez could be able to return after a minimum-length IL stay.

Battling hamstring issue Lopez was removed from his start against the Royals on Tuesday due to right hamstring tightness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lopez managed to walk off the field under his own power despite suffering a lower-body injury, which could suggest the damage is relatively minor. He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start against the Tigers over the weekend, though it remains to be seen if he'll be able to do so.

Unfazed by rain delay Lopez (1-1) picked up the win Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over over seven innings in a 6-1 victory over the White Sox. He struck out five.

Impact The game was delayed over three hours by rain, but Lopez didn't lose his focus while waiting it out. The right-hander tossed 67 of 98 pitches for strikes, and he took a shutout into the seventh inning before Brooks Baldwin got hold of a changeup that stayed up in the zone and drove it over the fence in right-center field for a solo shot. Lopez will take a 2.25 ERA and 8:1 K:BB through 12 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come on the road early next week in Kansas City.

Takes Opening Day loss Lopez gave up four runs (two earned) with three strikeouts, no walks but eight hits over five innings Thursday in taking the loss Opening Day against the Cardinals.

Impact Lopez didn't help himself with a key balk and error that led to runs, but manager Rocco Badelli after the game said he thought he improved as the game went on. Lopez wasn't sharp this spring (6.62 ERA in five starts), so he could be off to a slow start this season.
