Joe Ryan Returns as Twins Push for Playoffs | Minnesota Twins News

Joe Ryan is back on the mound for the Twins after a month-long absence due to a strained glute, and his return couldn’t come at a better time as Minnesota heads into a critical series against the Tigers. Activated from the injured list, Ryan completed a rehab start and bullpen session to prove he’s ready, bringing much-needed stability to a rotation that desperately needs it. Before his injury, Ryan was a reliable starter with a 3.65 ERA and solid strikeout numbers — exactly the kind of arm the Twins need in their playoff push. With the team just a few games behind Detroit, Ryan’s health and performance could be the difference-maker in the final stretch. The Twins sent reliever Garrett Acton back to Triple-A to make room, and now all eyes are on Ryan to show he’s fully recovered and can pitch like he did before — because if he can, the Twins might just pull off the upset they need.
