Pablo López takes the mound for the Twins tonight at Target Field after two strong starts this season, his first with Minnesota after coming over in the Luis Arraez trade from Miami.

López (1-0) has given up only one run in 1213 innings this season and will face former Twins righthander Lance Lynn (0-1, 9.00 ERA) in the game at 6:40 p.m. (BSN).

First pitch is 6:40 p.m.

The Twins put Joey Gallo on the injured list, retroactive to Saturday, because of right intercostal strain.

Twins shortstop Carlos Correa remains sidelined because of back spasms. Kyle Farmer will take his spot in the infield.

The White Sox said former AL batting champion and shortstop Tim Anderson will be out four weeks because of a left knee sprain.

Donovan Solano moves to the leadoff spot for the Twins.
