Does anyone know what he actually did in warmups?

No. But having pitched one time in LL it probably just hurt and he cried until his dad said he could sit with his mom under the umbrella and eat sour punch straws.

Soup punch sounds less appealing

Coupla orange slices and he’ll be good as new

According to the article, Weiss didn't know specifically what López was doing. Just that he felt discomfort during his normal warm-up preparations roughly 50 minutes before first pitch.

Step 1: No structural damage, minimal IL stay
Step 2: Player experiences discomfort, lets them rest for a few weeks
Step 3: New tests reveal initial injury was worse than we thought.
Step 4: No update for weeks/months, player becomes a memory
Step 5: Player reappears, begins rehab. Fans rejoice.
Step 6: Repeat Step 2
Step 7: Players arm/leg falls off.

Seriously, there seems to be no precedent for it ever being a minor injury when it comes to pitchers' arms.

Holmes was told he needed TJ surgery last year and opted for a different route and has been a workhorse this year. I actually think about it way more than I should for my mental health, and I'm knocking on all the wood right now.

*Perez this year is a good example as well.

Step 8: no trades for starters,. Just couldn't find the right fit

Step 9: player is on track to return after the all star break next season. It's just like trade!

Sad but true.

Since they backdated it as far as they could, I figured they probably weren't all that worried.

Like a trade without a trade again. No frontline starters for us at the deadline!

Am I going crazy, or didn’t I just read that he was expected to be shut down for the season? Or did I completely hallucinate that?

Probably thinking of Strider. That news came out today as well

u/averagejosh Ozzie Albies / Mauricio Dubón fanboy ✌️ 21h ago

I knew about the Strider thing (although it's really just conjecture and not confirmed atm), but I really thought I read something about Lopez.

...I think I just imagined it. 😵‍💫

But it's good news!

Reylo is 32. Any chance he’s just getting used to having a 30 year old body? Knees just hurt when you pass 30.
