Overview

  • David Festa was placed on the 15-day injured list for recurring right shoulder inflammation after allowing three home runs over 5⅓ innings in Los Angeles.
  • Festa joins Pablo López and Bailey Ober on the IL, leaving the Twins with three starters sidelined concurrently.
  • Right-hander Travis Adams was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul for his third stint this season and has pitched nine innings with six strikeouts at the big-league level.
  • The Twins signed 16th overall draft pick Marek Houston to a $4,497,500 bonus, adding the Wake Forest shortstop to their farm system.
  • Catcher Diego Cartaya was released following the waiver claim of Jhonny Pereda, creating additional roster flexibility behind the plate.
