JOE RYAN NEWS

Struggles through five Ryan did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing six runs on eight hits and one walk over five innings against the Rockies. He struck out six.

Impact Ryan allowed three homers on the night bringing his season total to 32, more than all but four other pitchers this season. Ryan finishes the regular season with a 4.51 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 197 strikeouts in 161.2 innings, but over his past five outings, he holds an ERA of 6.20 and a WHIP of 1.46. He'll look to clean things up in his next start when he's likely to take the bump in the Wild Card round of the playoffs as the Twins look to break an 18-game playoff losing skid that dates to Oct. 5, 2004.

On line to start Game 3, Joe Ryan struggles in mile-high conditions in Twins victory Ryan yielded six earned runs and eight hits in five innings in the Twins' win over the Rockies.

Strikes out 10 in win Ryan (11-10) got the win over the Angels on Sunday, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out 10 over six innings of work.

Impact Ryan struck out double-digit batters for the sixth time this season and for the first time since July 21. The seven hits were the most he's allowed since Aug. 2, but he displayed excellent command after walking multiple batters in each of his last two starts. Ryan's inconsistencies have left a question mark for the Twins' third rotation spot for the playoffs; however, Sunday's outing likely put him as the front runner to man the role behind Sony Gray and Pablo Lopez. Ryan now owns a 4.31 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 191:33 K:BB in 156.2 innings and lines up for one final start against the Rockies.

Struggles in loss Ryan (10-10) took the loss Monday against the Reds, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out five.

Impact Ryan pitched Monday in what was easily his worst start of five since returning from a groin injury Aug. 26. He struggled a bit with his command as the three walks issued matched his season high. The 27-year-old has pitched to a 4.30 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 181:33 K:BB over 150.2 innings. Ryan looks to return to form in his next start, scheduled to be against the Angels at home.

Another brief start Ryan did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Rays. He struck out seven.

Impact After lasting just four innings last time out, Ryan got yanked after 4.2 frames Tuesday at 102 pitches. His struggles with power also continued, allowing Rene Pinto to hit a solo homer in the fifth frame to mark Ryan's 20th long ball allowed in his last 52 innings (11 starts). Over that span, the 27-year-old owns a 6.40 ERA and a 76:15 K:BB. He's expected to toe the rubber once more this week and is slated to take on the White Sox in Chicago on Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lasts just four innings in loss Ryan (10-9) took the loss Wednesday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk over four innings against Cleveland. He struck out three.

Impact Ryan allowed only two runs on the afternoon but needed 89 pitches to get through four innings as the right-hander was replaced by Louie Varland to open the fifth. The 27-year-old has now failed to make it through five frames in three of his last five starts, though he's allowed two or fewer runs in three straight. Ryan has also lost five of his last seven decisions (spanning 10 starts), surrendering at least four runs in four of those outings.

Fans seven in win Ryan (10-8) allowed one run on three hits across six innings Friday, striking out seven and earning a win over Texas.

Impact Aside from Corey Seager's solo homer in the fourth inning, Ryan was nearly untouchable in Friday's victory. It was Ryan's first appearance without walking a batter since June 27 and the first time he completed six innings since July 26. Despite the strong outing, he threw a season-low 74 pitches, though he still managed to force 14 whiffs. Ryan lowered his season ERA to 4.20 with a 166:27 K:BB through 24 starts. He's currently lined up to start in Cleveland next week.

Sharp in return Ryan (groin) allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Saturday.

Impact Ryan missed just over three weeks with a groin strain, but he looked solid in his return. He threw 51 of 80 pitches for strikes, suggesting he may not have much of a workload restriction, if any, going forward. He struggled prior to the injury, but he's at a passable 4.33 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 159:27 K:BB through 131 innings over 23 starts for the year. Ryan is projected for a rematch with the Rangers in Texas next week.

Activated ahead of start Ryan (groin) was activated off the 15-day injured list Saturday ahead of his scheduled start against the Rangers.

Impact Ryan wound up missing most of the month of August while recovering from a groin strain, but he's ready to go after striking out seven and allowing just one run on one hit and a pair of walks in a four-inning rehab start last Sunday. Prior to the injury, Ryan struggled to an 8.63 ERA and 1.79 WHIP over his last seven starts, a far cry from the 2.98 ERA and 0.91 WHIP he managed across his first 15 outings. Jordan Balazovic was optioned to clear space for Ryan's return.

Confirmed for return Saturday Ryan (groin) will return from the 15-day injured list to start Saturday versus the Rangers, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Ryan has been given the official go-ahead to rejoin the Twins' rotation after throwing 71 pitches and striking out seven batters over four innings of one-run ball in his lone minor-league rehab start last Friday with Triple-A St. Paul. The 27-year-old right-hander landed on the injured list Aug. 3 due to a left groin strain.

Likely to return Saturday Ryan (groin) is likely to return from the 15-day injured list to start Saturday against the Rangers, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Ryan showed well in a minor-league rehab start last Friday with Triple-A St. Paul, tallying seven strikeouts while allowing only one hit -- a solo homer -- across four innings of work. He threw 71 pitches in that outing, so there shouldn't be too much of a limit on his workload as he returns to the fold for Minnesota. The 27-year-old right-hander has been on the IL since Aug. 3 because of a left groin strain.

Impact Ryan struck out seven on the night and induced 12 whiffs on 28 swings. He threw 71 pitches on the night, which would seem to be enough for it to be his lone rehab outing, if that's the direction the Twins want to go. Ryan has been sidelined since early August with a left groin strain.

Cleared for rehab assignment Ryan (groin) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul reports.

Impact Ryan tossed a bullpen session Tuesday and came out of it with no concerns, clearing the way for his return to game action. It's not clear how many rehab starts he will need before being activated, but since he's only been out for just over two weeks it's possible he'll just require one. If that's the case, he could conceivably rejoin the Twins' rotation next week in Milwaukee or back at home versus the Rangers.

Throws bullpen, assignment coming Ryan (groin) threw a bullpen session Tuesday and is expected to embark on a rehab assignment within the next few days, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ryan's session reportedly went well, and the start date of his rehab assignment will depend on how he's feeling Wednesday. The Twins haven't indicated how long they plan on keeping Ryan on assignment, but a multiple-start trip would keep him out until at least late-August.

Goes on IL with groin strain Ryan was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a left groin strain, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ryan was excellent in the first half of the 2023 regular season, but he got hammered by the Cardinals on Wednesday night in St. Louis and has stumbled to an 8.63 ERA across his last seven starts covering 32.1 innings. He'll be sidelined through at least Aug. 18. Dallas Keuchel is joining the Twins in a corresponding roster move and will presumably slide into the rotation.
