FORT MYERS, Fla. — Minnesota right-hander Pablo López will have season-ending Tommy John elbow surgery, expected once the Twins discovered their ace's torn ulnar collateral ligament. The team said Friday that López's surgery will be performed next week in Texas by Rangers team physician Dr. Keith Meister. López turns 30 early next month.

Gerrit Cole reached 96.9 mph in his first session against hitters since the New York Yankees ace underwent Tommy John elbow surgery last March.
