The Minnesota Twins claimed left-hander Joey Wentz off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday.

Wentz, 27, went 2-1 this season with a 4.15 ERA in 19 relief appearances with the Pirates.

A first-round pick by the Atlanta Braves in 2016, Wentz is 8-18 with a 5.40 ERA 97 games (26 starts) with the Detroit Tigers (2022-24) and Pirates (2024-25).

In a corresponding move, right-hander Pablo Lopez was transferred to the 60-day injured list after being placed on the 15-day IL last Thursday with a grade 2 strain of the teres major muscle in his right shoulder.

Lopez, 29, is 5-3 with a 2.82 ERA and 61 strikeouts in 11 starts this season. The former All-Star is 59-52 with a 3.84 ERA in 169 career starts for the Miami Marlins (2018-22) and the Twins.
