Twins' David Festa: Not yet throwing off mound
Festa (shoulder) is about two weeks from beginning to pitch off a mound, Twins General Manager Jeremy Zoll told the Minnesota Star Tribune.
Festa recently resumed a throwing program after being shut down in late February due to a right shoulder impingement. However it sounds like he'll need several weeks before he can begin a minor-league rehab assignment. Festa was already coming back from thoracic outlet syndrome, which he dealt with last September, so expect the Twins to be cautious with his return.

Twins' David Festa: Hits 15-day IL
The Twins placed Festa (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.
Festa recently resumed a throwing program after being shut down in late February due to a right shoulder impingement, so his move to the IL was fully expected. He could be ready to return from the IL at some point in the second half of April.

Twins' David Festa: Begins throwing
Festa (shoulder impingement) threw Thursday at 60 feet and Friday at 75 feet, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Festa was shut down in late February due to a shoulder impingement and received an injection to address the injury. He's expected to be placed on the injured list to begin the season. He's coming back from thoracic outlet syndrome after being diagnosed in September, so the Twins may be cautious with his return.

Twins' David Festa: Expected to begin season on IL
Festa (shoulder) remains shut down from throwing and is expected to begin the season on the injured list, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Festa was shut down in late February due to a shoulder impingement and received an injection to address the injury. The 26-year-old could begin playing catch next week, but his buildup may take a while given that he's also coming back from thoracic outlet syndrome, which he was diagnosed with in September.

Twins' David Festa: Shut down with shoulder issue
The Twins announced Thursday that Festa will be shut down for a couple of weeks due to a shoulder impingement, Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports.
Festa has received an injection to address the injury, but even if it yields the desired effect, his availability for the start of the season could be in jeopardy. The Twins were already in the process of easing Festa along during spring training after he dealt with a compressed nerve near his pitching shoulder last season, as he had only recently started to face hitters in live batting practice. On a positive note, Festa's shoulder impingement is considered unrelated to the previous injury.

Twins' David Festa: Throws against hitters
Festa (shoulder) threw live at-bats against hitters Saturday and was sitting at 91-92 mph with his fastball, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Festa had a compressed nerve near his pitching shoulder last season and is working his way back to full strength. He still has a chance to win a rotation spot this spring despite being eased back into action. Saturday's session is a sign he's making progress as he had previously only been throwing bullpen sessions.

Twins' David Festa: Throwing bullpen sessions
Festa (shoulder) is still throwing bullpen sessions while other Twins pitchers are throwing live batting-practice sessions, Bobby Nightengale of The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports. Festa could begin throwing to live hitters next week.
Festa had a compressed nerve near his pitching shoulder last season and isn't yet throwing at 100 percent intensity. He still has a chance to win a rotation spot, especially now that three slots are in competition following Pablo Lopez's elbow injury. Festa is competing against Taj Bradley, Simeon Woods Richardson, Zebby Matthews and Mick Abel for those spots.

Twins' David Festa: Expected to resume throwing soon
Twins president of baseball operations Derek Falvey said Tuesday that Festa (shoulder) should resume throwing relatively soon, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
Festa was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome in September, but it's considered a mild version and he was given Botox injections to alleviate a compressed nerve between his right shoulder and neck. A setback is possible, but for now Festa is expected to be ready for the start of spring training. If healthy, the young righty will compete for a spot in the Twins' rotation next season. Festa held a 5.40 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 53:19 K:BB over 53.1 innings in 2025 with the big club.

Twins' David Festa: Avoids surgery for shoulder injury
Festa was set to receive Botox injections Thursday to alleviate a compressed nerve between his right shoulder and neck, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
He avoided surgery for a mild version of thoracic outlet syndrome after visiting a specialist and could have a normal offseason if all goes well. Festa posted a 5.40 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 53:19 K:BB over 53.1 innings for the Twins this season. If healthy, he'll likely be in the mix for a spot in the rotation next spring.

Twins' David Festa: Could have thoracic outlet syndrome
Festa was diagnosed with neurological thoracic outlet syndrome during a visit with Dr. Keith Meister in Texas this week, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Festa will receive a second opinion before a determination is made about a treatment plan, but surgery would certainly seem to be a possibility. If the pitcher does need an operation, he would be in for a lengthy rehab process that could affect his 2026 availability. Festa posted a 5.40 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 53:19 K:BB over 53.1 innings for the Twins this season.

Twins' David Festa: Shut down for season
The Twins will shut down Festa (shoulder) for the remainder of the season, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Festa pitched in a rehab game at Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday, striking out five batters and walking three over 2.2 shutout innings. However, he reported feeling renewed discomfort in his right shoulder afterward, so the Twins will now pivot and work to get the 25-year-old ready for next season. He'll close the book on 2025 with a 5.40 ERA and 1.28 WHIP to go with a 53:19 K:BB through 53.1 innings.

Twins' David Festa: Beginning assignment Thursday
Festa (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Shoulder inflammation has kept Festa out of commission since late July, but after throwing live BP on Saturday without any issues, he's been given the green light to return to game action. Given the duration of his absence, there's a good chance the 25-year-old will require multiple rehab starts before returning from the IL, though he should still be able to make it back before the end of the regular season.

Twins' David Festa: Set to throw batting practice
Festa (shoulder) will throw a live batting practice session Saturday, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
If all goes well, he could begin a rehab assignment at some point the following week. Festa went on the 15-day injured list July 23 due to right shoulder inflammation. He later received two anti-inflammatory injections in the injured shoulder.

Twins' David Festa: Gets injections for shoulder
Festa has reported improvement since landing on the injured list Wednesday after he received two anti-inflammatory injections for his right shoulder, MLB.com reports.
Festa got injections for both the front and back of his shoulder, and the shots appear to have alleviated most of the swelling that the right-hander had been experiencing. He could be ready to start throwing again in the next few days and may have a chance at returning from the 15-day injured list when first eligible Aug. 6, but Festa won't necessarily have a big-league rotation spot waiting for him once he's activated.
