MINNEAPOLIS — It’s not often that a Major League All-Star makes consecutive starts in Toledo, but that’s what’s on the docket for Pablo López.

The Twins’ star right-hander will make his third and probably final Minor League rehabilitation appearance for Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday. And just like his second one, it will be a road game for the Saints against the Toledo Mud Hens.

The plan is for López to go five innings and about 75-80 pitches, and barring a setback, his next time on the mound would most likely come the following weekend for the Twins in Kansas City. He hasn’t pitched in a Major League game since June 3 in West Sacramento, when he suffered a strain of the teres major muscle in the back of his right shoulder.

“The whole goal is when I make my first start back with the team, it’s not like, ‘He’s at 74 pitches, should we take him out,’ four innings and two-thirds, stuff like that,” López said.

“I’m OK with it. I still have to remember that it’s been almost three months with a semi-major shoulder injury, so [we’ll] take one more game to feel things out physically, mechanically, pitching-wise. Polish up some things.”

López returned to Minneapolis to work with the team’s staff between starts, so he was in the clubhouse when the Twins returned home after a six-game road trip. He threw a bullpen session on Friday. He’ll fly to Detroit on Saturday, then drive to Toledo in advance of a Sunday night start.

“It’s always good to have the two sets of eyes that have seen me for the last three years in both Pete [Maki, pitching coach] and Luis [Ramirez, assistant pitching coach],” he said. “I’m still trying to feel some things to make sure that I’m not as worried about my velo or things like that. Just making sure that I’m feeling healthy and I’m checking all my marks with the mental cues I have when I’m pitching. So always good to throw, do my plyos, my towel drills, my long toss, having Pete and Luis right there with me.”
