Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Joe Ryan, 29-year-old right-hander for the Minnesota Twins, exited his start against the Blue Jays in the first inning after just 9 pitches due to elbow discomfort. An MRI revealed no structural damage to his elbow, which is excellent news for the Twins. Ryan has already resumed throwing and is scheduled for a bullpen session, with potential to return to his next scheduled start if all goes well. The Twins avoided a major injury scare with one of their most reliable pitchers.
