Hopefully this is nothing serious for Ryan, who has had a strong season.
Injury Details
Twins starting pitcher Joe Ryan exited Wednesday's game against the Cubs in the third inning due to an apparent injury. He signaled to the dugout after throwing his 33rd pitch of the game.
Performance Impact
Ryan has been a pivotal player for the Twins this season, holding a 3.59 ERA and leading the team in strikeouts and other key metrics. His absence could significantly impact the team's rotation.
Next Steps
If Ryan is sidelined for an extended period, Louie Varland may be called up to fill his spot in the rotation. The Twins are currently managing other injuries within their pitching roster.
Game Context
Before Ryan's exit, the Twins were leading the Cubs 2-1. The situation remains fluid as the team considers potential changes to their starting lineup.
