MINNESOTA TWINS NEWS

David Festa - Gets no help in loss Festa (1-2) took the loss Tuesday as the Twins were downed 2-0 by the Mets, giving up two runs on three hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out six.

Impact The rookie right-hander put together his best performance so far in the majors, tossing 44 of 68 pitches for strikes, but Minnesota managed only two hits in support of him. Festa has allowed just three runs in 9.1 innings since returning to the 26-man roster last week, but he continues to have trouble keeping the ball in the yard -- a solo shot by Mark Vientos in the fifth inning Tuesday was the sixth homer Festa has served up in 19.1 big-league frames. With the Twins having failed to add any rotation help at the trade deadline, his spot seems fairly secure for the moment, and Festa lines up to make his next start on the road early next week against the Cubs.

Alex Kirilloff - Shifts to 60-day IL The Twins transferred Kirilloff (back) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

Impact The 26-year-old now won't be eligible to be reinstated until mid-August, but he wasn't likely to return within the next couple weeks regardless given the lack of recent updates in his rehab program. If not for the back strain, Kirilloff was set to be demoted to Triple-A St. Paul due to his .654 OPS this season, so the Twins will likely send him on a lengthy rehab assignment once he's game ready in an attempt to get him back on track.

Josh Staumont - DFA'd by Twins The Twins designated Staumont for assignment Tuesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Trevor Richards coming over to Minnesota in a trade with Toronto on Tuesday, Staumont will end up as the odd man out of a spot on the Twins' roster. The 30-year-old was able to get through his first seven MLB appearances of the year without allowing an earned run. However, he's given up 10 earned runs in just 4.2 innings since July 12.

Trevor Richards - Moved to Minnesota The Twins acquired Richards on Tuesday in exchange for infielder Jay Harry, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Richards will provide the Twins with a right-handed option out of the bullpen who's capable of covering multiple innings. The 31-year-old covered 52.1 frames over his 45 appearances with the Blue Jays this season, logging a 4.64 ERA with seven holds and a 49:24 K:BB.

Trevor Richards - Moved to Minnesota The Blue Jays traded Richards to the Twins on Tuesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact The right-handed Richards will supply the Twins with additional bullpen depth. The 31-year-old threw 52.1 innings with the Blue Jays this season, logging a 4.64 ERA with seven holds and a 49:24 K:BB. He shouldn't be expected to handle much high-leverage work for Minnesota.

Trevor Larnach - On bench Tuesday Larnach is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

Impact Larnach will avoid a matchup with southpaw Sean Manaea on Tuesday. Larnach has now missed the starting nine in four consecutive games, three of which have come against lefties. Austin Martin will play left field in Larnach's place Tuesday.
