This would be the move to provide Minnesota with a clearer picture of how they would want to proceed, and it appears they dodged a bullet.
As reported by The Athleticâs Dan Hayes, Ryanâs MRI came back clean, meaning that he didnât suffer any major setbacks on Sunday afternoon. The positive news doesnât stop with the clean imaging, as the former All-Star has already gotten back to throwing on the field, and is slated to have a bullpen session on Wednesday, as reported by Hayes.
The bullpen session could have bigger implications for Ryan and the Twins, according to MLB.com, as he could be on the mound for his next scheduled start over the weekend if all things go right.
Through his eight starts this season, the 29-year-old has a 2-3 record, pitching to an ERA of 3.72 and a WHIP of 1.06, both of which are a few marks above where he was last season.
For now, the Twins will look to continue trying to improve their standings in the American League West, currently sitting a game and a half back from the top spot, which is being split by the Detroit Tigers, Cleveland Guardians, and Chicago White Sox.
