Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
David Festa, RHP for the Minnesota Twins, suffered a shoulder injury in spring training and experienced a setback after a recent throwing session. He felt renewed discomfort during rehab and was re-evaluated to determine next steps. He was close to a minor-league rehab assignment before the setback. This injury comes at a critical time as the Twins' rotation is being severely tested with multiple starters sidelined (Joe Ryan with elbow soreness, Taj Bradley with pectoralis inflammation, Mick Abel with elbow inflammation, and Pablo López out for the season after Tommy John surgery).
