The Minnesota Twins are set to activate Pablo López, who is starting against the Los Angeles Angels tonight at Target Field. López returns from a hamstring injury after making only three starts this season. The Twins, currently struggling with a 9-16 record, need to improve against left-handed starters, having lost all three of their matchups this season. The Angels, sitting at .500, are looking to capitalize on their recent win against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

In their last meeting, the Twins dominated the Angels, winning five of six games in their 2024 season series. Notably, the Twins' success relies heavily on their ability to score, as they are 9-3 when scoring four or more runs. The Angels’ Mike Trout, now healthy, is another key player to watch, hitting .172 with 8 home runs this season as he makes his first appearance at Target Field since 2022.
