Minnesota Twins Starter Pablo López Ends Bullpen Session Early over Elbow Soreness

- The Twins decided to remove López `out of an abundance of caution` and will get imaging while moving cautiously with one of their top arms.
- Because he advanced earlier to join Venezuela's WBC team, López's season prospects could be affected after elbow soreness puts his participation in jeopardy.
