Might the Twins get Joe Ryan back for the stretch run?
Ryan allowed one run in three innings for Triple-A St. Paul and could rejoin Minnesota’s rotation next week, manager Derek Shelton said.
- On Tuesday, Minnesota Twins pitcher Joe Ryan made his first rehab start in nearly a month for the Triple-A St. Paul Saints in Omaha, throwing 42 pitches and a simulated fourth inning to test his recovering muscle strain.
- Before his August 7 placement on the injured list, Ryan posted a 6-5 record with a 2.85 ERA and 128 strikeouts, though he struggled with a 9.39 ERA following the All-Star Game.
- Saturday at Rate Field in Chicago, Ryan will throw a bullpen session allowing pitching coach Pete Maki and manager Derek Shelton to evaluate his progress during the series against the American League Central-leading White Sox.
- With the team chasing a wild card spot, Ryan would join Taj Bradley, Bailey Ober, Zebby Matthews, and recent acquisition Dean Kremer to solidify the Twins' rotation for the final stretch.
- Shelton noted that a major league return remains "on the table" as soon as next week, contingent upon how Ryan handles the upcoming bullpen workload.
