The Twins on Friday recalled right-handed pitcher Josh Winder from Triple-A St. Paul and re-assigned David Festa to the Saints before starting a three-game series against the Houston Astros at Target Field.
Winder, 27, is 2-0 with a 4.78 earned-run average with 28 strikeouts in 26 1/3 innings in St. Paul this season. He pitched in 19 games for the Twins last season, going 2-1 with 4.15 ERA and one save.
Festa, the Twins’ top pitching prospect, made two starts for the Twins, including his major league debut June 27 in Arizona. He was 1-1 with a 10.80 ERA (10 innings, 12 earned runs), one walk and eight strikeouts for Minnesota.
