No-decision against Detroit Ryan didn't factor into the decision Thursday against Detroit after allowing six runs on six hits and two walks while fanning five across 4.2 innings.

Impact Ryan spent one week away from the team but didn't look good in his final start of the season, as he couldn't escape the fifth inning while allowing a season-high mark in runs allowed, hits allowed, and home runs given up. The rookie right-hander ends the year with a 4.05 ERA and a 0.79 WHIP across five starts (26.2 innings), posting a 30:5 K:BB in that span.

Final start coming Thursday The Twins plan to reinstate Ryan from the bereavement list to make his final start of the season Thursday against the Tigers, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact Minnesota may wait all the way until Thursday before adding Ryan back to the 28-man active roster, but the rookie right-hander shouldn't be subject to any major restrictions for what will be his final outing of 2021. He dazzled his last time out Sept. 22 against the Cubs at Wrigley Field, covering five innings and giving up two runs while striking out 11 en route to collecting his second win in four starts.

Heading to bereavement list Ryan (personal) will be placed on the bereavement list Saturday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact Ryan left the team Friday to attend to a personal matter, but manager Rocco Baldelli is hoping the right-hander will be able to rejoin the Twins as early as Sunday. Players are required to spend a minimum of three days on the bereavement list, which would still put Ryan in line to start Tuesday's series opener against Detroit if he's back with the team in time for the game.

Manager Rocco Baldelli is optimistic that the right-hander will rejoin the team as early as Sunday, but he acknowledged that the Twins could have to shift their rotation plans if Ryan remains away from the team.

The result has been a 2.45 ERA backed by a 25:3 K:BB across 22 innings.

Impact Ryan was pushed back from starting Sunday while recovering from a bruised right wrist, but he'll rejoin the rotation Wednesday after receiving a couple extra days to recover. The 25-year-old has pitched well through his first three big-league starts with a 2.12 ERA, 0.53 WHIP and 14:2 K:BB in 17 innings.

Impact Ryan has been dealing with a bruised right wrist after being hit by a comebacker in his previous start last Tuesday versus Cleveland, and he'll receive some extra rest between outings. There's been no indication the right-hander is heading to the injured list, so he could be an option to start Tuesday against the Cubs following Monday's scheduled off day.

X-rays negative Ryan's X-rays were negative Tuesday after he was struck in the arm by a comeback, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact Ryan struck out five and allowed just one run on three hits in a walk over five innings of work Tuesday against Cleveland before a Myles Straw liner knocked him out of the game in the sixth inning. He marched directly off the field without waiting for team trainers, which could have indicated a more serious injury, but he's been diagnosed with nothing more than a right wrist contusion. Whether or not the injury will force him to the injured list is not yet clear.

Hit by comebacker Ryan exited his start Tuesday against Cleveland after getting struck in the arm by a comebacker, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Impact Ryan was pitching well before a Myles Straw liner hit him in the sixth inning. In five innings of work, he allowed just one run on three hits and a walk while striking out five batters. The nature and severity of his injury aren't yet clear, but it's possible it's a bad one, as he marched straight to the dugout without even waiting for a visit from team trainers. Given that there's less than three weeks left in the regular season, anything more than a very minor issue could wind up shutting him down for the year.
