FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Minnesota Twins right-hander Pablo López ended a bullpen session early on Monday over what manager Derek Shelton said was “a little bit of elbow soreness.”
López, who turns 30 next month, threw two-plus innings before shutting things down. He was considered ahead of schedule in preparations to join Venezuela for the World Baseball Classic.
López has been the opening day starter for the Twins the past three seasons. He was limited to 75 2/3 innings last year, with three stints on the injured list for hamstring, shoulder and forearm issues.
The 2023 All-Star had made 32 starts in each season from 2022-24, the first of those with Miami before a pair with Minnesota.
“We decided, out of an abundance of caution, let’s get him off, let’s get him off the field and make sure he’s OK,” Shelton told reporters at the club's spring training facility. “We’ll get some imaging on it, just because of how important it is and he is to us.”
Lopez was 5-4 with a 2.74 ERA last season. He won 10 games in each of the previous three seasons, capped by a career-best 15 in 2024.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 16, 2026--
Red Sea Global (RSG), the developer behind the regenerative tourism destinations The Red Sea and AMAALA, has revealed plans to open an adventure and entertainment district. It will be unveiled to the public from 1 March, following a soft launch for invited guests from 15 February.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260216890688/en/
Named ADRENA, it will serve guests from across The Red Sea destination and further afield. Located a short drive from Shura Island, the district will offer visitors unique activities, ranging from surfing to wakeboarding, cliff diving to skateboarding.
Set in a truly unspoiled and natural environment, ADRENA offers day and night entertainment for different moods. After dark, the beach club becomes a place to unwind while a DJ plays rhythmic house music, delicious South American cuisine is accompanied by an especially curated mocktail menu, all served until late into the evening.
"Our unique adventure and entertainment district isn't just about offering thrilling experiences, it's about embodying the freedom of a coastal lifestyle – the energy, the community, the connection with nature. We've built ADRENA with sustainability at its core, demonstrating our commitment to regenerative tourism and ensuring an unforgettable experience for every guest, day and night. We look forward to welcoming visitors in the coming weeks," said John Pagano, Group CEO of Red Sea Global.
Inspired by the words ‘adrenaline’, ‘arena’ and ‘dream’, ADRENA embodies the perfect mix of excitement, energy, and imagination. It is led and managed by Red Sea Sports & Entertainment Co. which also operates WAMA, specializing in water sports, Galaxea offering underwater experiences, and Akun delivering on land adventures. ADRENA is designed to give guests the opportunity to embark on new experiences and try out action sports in world class facilities with an expert team and take their adventures beyond the park and into the wild.
ADRENA will offer a saltwater surf pool, which at 215m long will be the largest in Saudi Arabia when it opens. Waves can reach a maximum height of 2.1m and is customizable based on the skill level of the rider.
There will also be a wakeboarding lake, snorkel trails, an incredible 6m deep diving pool, as well as activities and moments for the whole family including a children’s waterplay area and a floating inflatable obstacle course. There is also a skatepark, a BMX pump track, and areas for beach sports such as football and volleyball. At the more extreme end there is an overwater zip line and a 10m high ‘slip ‘n’ fly’ slide.
ADRENA also features a buzzing social hub, including a beach club, live music programming, and an infinity pool with breathtaking Red Sea sunset views.
The district is designed with accessibility in mind, featuring zero-depth entry at many of the pools and adaptable options for activities like bodyboarding, paddleboarding, diving, and snorkeling. This ensures guests with mobility and accessibility needs can enjoy the facilities.
ADRENA’s design follows RSG's responsible development. It utilizes a sustainable closed-loop system drawing seawater in, filtering and circulating it through the attractions, and then returning it once again clean and filtered. Any freshwater used across the district is reused for irrigation, further minimizing environmental impacts.
The Red Sea welcomed its first guests in 2023 and now has nine hotels open, along with Thuwal Private Retreat off the coast of Jeddah. Red Sea International Airport (RSI) is the gateway to the destination for guests and residents alike and is receiving a regular schedule of domestic and international flights from Riyadh, Jeddah, Dubai, Doha, and Milan.
