Sent to Minnesota for Arraez Lopez was traded from the Marlins to the Twins on Friday in exchange for infielder Luis Arraez, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Impact In addition to Lopez, prospects Jose Salas and Byron Chourio are also heading to Minnesota in the deal, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today.

Magnificent in no-decision Lopez struck out seven in seven scoreless innings while allowing two hits and three walks in a 4-3 extra-innings win Sunday in Milwaukee. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact After a leadoff walk to start the game, Lopez retired the next 12 batters he faced. Three of the five baserunners he allowed reached in the fifth inning but Lopez got out of a bases loaded, two-out jam with a strikeout. The 26-year-old ends the year with four consecutive quality starts, dropping his ERA from 4.04 to 3.75. He was rumored to be included in trade talks before the trade deadline and it's possible that Sunday's game was his last appearance in a game for the Marlins.

Racks up win No. 10 Lopez (10-10) picked up the win Tuesday, giving up three runs on five hits over six innings in a 6-4 victory over the Mets. He struck out five without walking a batter.
Impact The right-hander extended his quality start streak to three while reaching double-digit wins for the first time in his major-league career. It was a much better performance from Lopez than the last time he faced the Mets (eight runs in 3.2 innings Sept, 10). Even factoring that outing in, he's having a solid finish to the season, posting a 4.15 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 36:10 K:BB through 39 innings over his last seven starts.

Settles for no-decision Tuesday Lopez didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Cubs, allowing one run on five hits over 6.2 innings. He struck out six without walking a batter.
Impact The right-hander put together one of his better starts of the second half, but a lack of run support kept Lopez out of the win column. He tossed 68 of 105 pitches for strikes en route to his second straight quality start but only his fifth in 12 outings since the All-Star break, a stretch during which he's stumbled to a 5.57 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 61:18 K:BB through 63 innings.

Bounces back for ninth win Lopez (9-10) allowed two earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out five across 6.2 innings to earn the win Thursday against the Phillies.
Impact Lopez held the Phillies scoreless through five innings in a solid bounceback effort after allowing eight earned runs in his prior outing. He has now allowed two or fewer earned runs and struck out at least five in four of his last five outings. For the season, Lopez has a 3.99 ERA with a 156:50 K:BB across 160.1 innings.

Ambushed by Padres Lopez (7-8) took the loss Wednesday, coughing up six runs on six hits and three walks over 4.2 innings as the Marlins fell 10-3 to the Padres. He struck out two.
Impact A first-inning grand slam by Jake Cronenworth set the tone for the afternoon, and Lopez didn't escape the frame until a fifth run had crossed the plate. The right-hander settled down after that, but the damage was done. Lopez has failed to complete six innings in any of his last four starts, going 0-3 with a 9.00 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and 13:5 K:BB through 18 innings over that brutal stretch.

Falls to 7-7 Lopez (7-7) took the loss Saturday, allowing four runs on nine hits and two walks over five innings against the Cubs. He struck out six.
Impact Lopez continues to baffle Marlins fans and those rostering him in fantasy baseball. He's allowed at least four runs in three of his last four turns. The 26-year-old has an ERA close to 5.00 since the end of May, but at least his strikeouts rebounded Saturday after he managed just one his last time out. Lopez has already established a new career high in innings (123.2) this season, and given his injury history, it would make sense if the Marlins took steps to limit him down the stretch.
