Impact Keuchel exercised the opt-out in his minor-league contract with Minnesota on Tuesday, but they suddenly need him as a replacement for Joe Ryan, who has landed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding 26-man roster move because of a groin strain. Keuchel, 35, had registered a stellar 1.13 ERA in 32 innings (six starts) with St. Paul and is back in the majors for the first time since September of 2022.
