Twins' David Festa Heads to IL, MRI Pending

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher David Festa has been placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation following his start against the Los Angeles Dodgers, in which he allowed four runs over 5.1 innings. Festa will undergo an MRI and further evaluation to determine the severity of his injury. The roster move is retroactive to Tuesday, and rookie right-hander Travis Adams has been recalled from Triple-A St. Paul to fill Festa's spot on the 26-man roster. Adams, in his third stint with the Twins this season, has a 1-0 record with a 6.00 ERA in three relief appearances. It is unclear if Festa's shoulder was affecting his most recent performance or how long he will be sidelined, though he is eligible to return on August 6. Festa, a 2021 draftee from Seton Hall, has a career record of 5-10 with a 5.12 ERA since debuting as a rookie in 2024.
