Twins sit Lewis with right side tightness; Festa out for opener

Minnesota Twins third baseman Royce Lewis was scratched from Thursday’s exhibition game due to right side tightness experienced during pregame warmups. Last year, Lewis’ spring training was cut short by a hamstring strain. Meanwhile, right-hander David Festa will be sidelined for about two weeks with a shoulder impingement, likely placing him on the injured list. The Twins’ pitching staff is already stretched thin following ace Pablo López’s Tommy John surgery, which will keep him out until 2027.
