Joe Ryan pitches off mound as Twins righty’s road to recovery continues
Joe Ryan threw about 25 pitches, mostly fastballs, as he begins building toward a return from a strained left glute.
- On Tuesday, Twins pitcher Joe Ryan threw from the Target Field mound for the first time since his injury, a significant milestone in his recovery from a strained left glute muscle that has sidelined him for nearly two weeks.
- Twins manager Derek Shelton observed Ryan threw 25 fastballs during the session, appearing "free and easy" while demonstrating good movement. The team plans to mix in breaking balls as Ryan progresses toward full return.
- Ryan last pitched on August 4 in an 8-2 loss in Kansas City, his third consecutive loss in a start. He later said the injury made it feel like he was "pitching underwater."
- Twins utility man Kody Clemens has become a valuable roster piece, vowing to play anywhere the team needs him. Entering Tuesday's game, he was the only major leaguer to log 20 or more appearances at four different positions.
- Clemens provides offensive depth with 21 home runs entering Tuesday, trailing only Byron Buxton who leads the team with 25. His versatility and production establish him as a key contributor to the Twins' lineup.
