A second medical opinion ratified the initial diagnosis, so the right will be intervened in Texas by the renowned specialist Keith Meister. This will be the second Tommy John surgery in López’s career, which represents a hard blow for both the player and the Minnesota organization heading into the 2026 season. The estimated recovery time for this procedure in pitchers is approximately 12 months, so the Venezuelan will miss the entire 2026 campaign. However, it is projected that he could be ready to return to the mound at the beginning of the 2027 season.
