Twins’ Joe Ryan Gets Clean MRI, Eyes Bullpen Test After Elbow Scare

His quick return would stabilize a thin rotation.

Overview

  • Ryan left his last start after nine pitches with elbow discomfort and summoned a trainer.
  • Team officials said an MRI on his right elbow showed no structural damage, according to beat reports.
  • He has resumed throwing and is scheduled for a bullpen session that will guide the next steps.
  • If the session goes well, reports indicate he could avoid the injured list and make his next start this weekend.
  • His availability affects a pitching staff already hit by injuries and also preserves the value of a starter under team control through 2027 at a $6.2 million salary this year.
