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 due to elbow discomfort after just nine pitches. An MRI revealed no structural damage to his elbow, which was excellent news for the Twins. Ryan has since played catch and completed a bullpen session on Wednesday, reporting that his velocity was good and all offspeed pitches were working well. He is on track to make his next scheduled start on Saturday in Cleveland. This represents a best-case scenario recovery from what initially appeared to be a serious injury concern.
