Joe Ryan Leaves Start With Elbow Soreness
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- Twins pitcher Joe Ryan left his start against the Blue Jays early due to right elbow soreness, exiting after just two batters faced.
- Ryan had struck out the first batter but walked the next before calling for the trainer; he was relieved by Andrew Morris.
- This marks Ryan's second injury concern this season, having missed time in Spring Training with lower back inflammation but pitching effectively on Opening Day.
- Ryan has maintained a 3.76 ERA with a solid strikeout rate and has limited home runs better than usual despite a fly-ball pitching style.
- An extended absence for Ryan would strain the Twins' rotation, already impacted by injuries to Pablo Lopez and Mick Abel, potentially leading to more opportunities for pitching prospects like Connor Prielipp, Kendry Rojas, and Zebby Matthews.
