Scouting Report: Ryan Burr
Chicago Cubs | RP
Overall
Summary
Joe Ryan, 29-year-old Minnesota Twins right-hander and 2025 All-Star, exited his start against Toronto on May 3 after just 2 batters and 9 pitches due to elbow soreness. MRI revealed no structural damage. Ryan has already resumed throwing and is scheduled for a bullpen session with plans to make his next start Saturday at Cleveland. Manager Derek Shelton confirmed everything appears normal. Ryan is a steady pitcher with a 3.79 career ERA, 27.5% strikeout rate, and excellent 5.7% walk rate, though he is somewhat homer-prone due to his fly-ball tendencies and lack of premium velocity.
Strengths
- No structural damage confirmed by MRI
- Already throwing without incident
