Joe Ryan done in by one bad inning vs. Dodgers

Joe Ryan

MIN Starting Pitcher #41

Player Stats

Joe Ryan allowed eight hits and four runs with one walk and nine strikeouts over six innings in a loss against the Dodgers on Wednesday.

One bad inning sunk Ryan here. The Dodgers scored three runs in the third on four hits, one walk, and a sacrifice fly. It took Ryan 27 pitches to get through that frame and just 71 in total for his other five innings. His fastball was excellent up in the zone and it forced 11 of his 17 total whiffs in what was an admirable start against this strong lineup. Overall, he has a 3.18 ERA, 108 strikeouts, and 19 walks over 93 1/3 innings as one of the most effective starters in the league. He’s scheduled to face the Astros in Houston next time out.

Bailey Ober will start for the Twins as they open the second half of the season against the Cubs in Chicago on Friday evening.

He’ll be followed by Taj Bradley on Saturday afternoon and Zebby Matthews on Sunday afternoon at Wrigley Field. The expectation is that Joe Ryan would then start on Monday against the Guardians in Cleveland. Ober is coming off of a decent first half where he registered a 4.40 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and a 51/19 K/BB ratio over 71 2/3 innings in his first 13 starts.
Joe Ryan

MIN Starting Pitcher #41

Joe Ryan allowed two runs over six innings in a no-decision Saturday against the Angels.

Ryan left with a one-run lead, which was blown in the seventh by Tommy Nance in his Twins debut. So, he finishes the first half 6-5 with a 2.85 ERA. Ryan has produced 11 quality starts, which doesn’t count a couple of outings in which he pitched five-plus scoreless innings.
Joe Ryan

MIN Starting Pitcher #41

Joe Ryan allowed six runs and struck out five batters over four innings in a loss against the Astros on Tuesday.

Ryan held the Astros scoreless through three innings before Houston tagged him for six runs in the fourth, including a grand slam by Yordan Alvarez. Ryan would finish the fourth inning and not return for the fifth, ending his day at 91 pitches with five strikeouts. He’s now allowed ten runs over his last two starts and will look to bounce back when he takes a 3.61 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and a 113/22 K/BB ratio across 97 1/3 innings into a start against the Guardians in Minnesota next Tuesday.

Joe Ryan (illness) will start Wednesday’s series finale against the Dodgers.

It sounds like Ryan is feeling well enough to take the ball against Shohei Ohtani on Wednesday at Target Field after being scratched from Tuesday’s start due to illness. The 30-year-old’s return will push Connor Prielipp back to Friday’s series opener against the Rockies. There could be some changes depending on whether Tuesday night’s contest is played with showers in the forecast.

MIN Starting Pitcher #41

Joe Ryan has been scratched from Tuesday’s start against the Dodgers due to illness.

There’s zero indication that Ryan has been traded despite speculation running rampant on social media. The 30-year-old will get a reprieve from facing a loaded Los Angeles lineup and should be ready to take the ball again in a couple days once he’s feeling better. It’ll be intriguing rookie southpaw Kendry Rojas taking the ball against the Dodgers in his place.
Joe Ryan

MIN Starting Pitcher #41

Athlon Sports’ Pat Ragazzo reports the Twins would like to move Joe Ryan and Ryan Jeffers at the trade deadline.

Ragazzo adds sources told Athlon Sports that Minnesota’s new owner Tom Pohlad might want to head in the opposite direction by adding at the trade deadline, which is roughly six weeks away, to make a playoff push given the current state of the American League. It looks like the Twins could potentially be sellers at the deadline for the second consecutive season after putting together a fire sale for the ages last summer. It’ll likely come down to whether they inch closer to playoff contention over the next couple weeks.
Joe Ryan

MIN Starting Pitcher #41

Joe Ryan threw five scoreless innings and struck out seven in defeating the Rangers on Thursday.

Ryan allowed three hits, all of them singles, and finished with 13 whiffs and a 32 percent CSW. Since returning from his elbow scare on May 9, he’s 3-0 with a 2.40 ERA and a 59/8 K/BB in 48 2/3 innings over eight starts. He’ll look to keep it going in a home start against the Dodgers next week.
Joe Ryan

MIN Starting Pitcher #41

Joe Ryan allowed three earned runs over six innings while striking out eight on Friday in a no-decision against the Cardinals.

Ryan continues to display pinpoint command while keeping his team in position to win games. In a game that went back-and-forth all evening, Ryan held the Cardinals to just six hits on the night and exited the game with a 4-3 lead, but the Cardinals jumped all over the Twins bullpen after Ryan’s departure. He’ll look to pick up his fifth win of the season in his next start, which is scheduled for Thursday against the Rangers.
Joe Ryan

MIN Starting Pitcher #41

Joe Ryan gave up only a leadoff homer to Carter Jensen in six innings Saturday in a no-decision against the Royals.

The first inning was eventful for Ryan. After the leadoff homer, Bobby Witt Jr. sent a shot to left-center that both Trevor Larnach and Ryan Kreidler tried to catch, leading to a collision. Fortunately, both were OK after being checked on and Kreidler actually held on to the ball. After that, things were pretty quiet. Ryan struck out five and allowed no additional extra-base hits. He remains 4-3 with a 3.07 ERA. He’ll next face the Tigers on Thursday, unless the Twins decide to add a fifth starter before then and push Ryan back to Friday against the Cardinals.
Joe Ryan

MIN Starting Pitcher #41

Joe Ryan yielded four runs in six innings and struck out nine Monday in a victory over the White Sox.

Despite having his best velocity of the year — he averaged 94.6 mph with his fastball — Ryan gave up homers to Miguel Vargas and Andrew Benintendi, plus another eight hard-hit balls. But he did miss some bats, too, generating 13 whiffs with a 33 percent CSW. He’s 4-3 with a 3.20 ERA, and he’ll get to face the Royals at home next time out.

Luis Campusano (abdomen) returned to the Padres’ starting lineup for Friday’s second half opener against the Royals in Kansas City.

Campusano was scratched from the Padres’ lineup on Sunday due to abdominal soreness, but it looks like it was only a minor issue and he’s doing much better after a few days off. He’ll start behind the dish and bat ninth for the Padres on Friday evening against Royals’ right-hander Seth Lugo.

Cole Carrigg is not in the Rockies’ starting lineup for Friday’s second half opener against the Reds.

The Rockies are battling a crowded outfield mix at the moment against right-handed pitching, so expect Carrigg to see the occasional day off as they attempt to work everyone in. Tyler Freeman will start in his place in right field and bat eighth for the Rockies against Brady Singer and the Reds on Friday evening at Coors Field.

Red Sox released C Matt Thaiss.

Thaiss had been with the Red Sox on a minor league deal. The 31-year-old backstop hit .201/.314/.313 with three homers and 24 RBI in 170 plate appearances at Triple-A Worcester. It shouldn’t take him long to latch on elsewhere, as most teams place a premium on quality catching depth.

Anthony Santander (shoulder) received another cortisone injection in his ailing shoulder over the All-Star break.

Santander continues to deal with soreness and has yet to begin hitting. At this point, it’s starting to look doubtful that he makes it back to the Jays before the end of the regular season. Santander has been shelved since mid-March due to a left shoulder labral tear.

Blue Jays’ skipper John Schneider told reporters on Friday that Max Scherzer received three cortisone injections in his injured thumb over the All-Star break.

While Schneider didn’t specifically call it a setback, he called it a “pause” in Scherzer’s rehab and noted that he’ll resume throwing soon. It’s not an ideal situation as it’s going to be several weeks at a minimum before Scherzer may be ready to return. The 41-year-old hurler has been limited to just six starts and 22 innings overall on the season.

Athletics transferred OF Brent Rooker to the 60-day injured list.

The 31-year-old slugger underwent season-ending knee surgery earlier in July to address cartilage issues. Nothing has changed in his prognosis, this was done as a procedural move to clear a spot on the team’s 40-man roster for the promotion of Tommy White on Friday. Rooker is expected to be fully recovered and ready to go for the start of the 2027 season.

Athletics selected the contract of 3B Tommy White from Triple-A Las Vegas.

As previously reported, the 23-year-old slugger will join the Athletics for Friday’s second half opener against the Nationals. He’s expected to see action at first base while Nick Kurtz is shelved before making the move over to the hot corner. White had been slashing .303/.345/.489 with nine homers and 47 RBI in 252 plate appearances at Triple-A Las Vegas.

Teng misses the minimum time on the IL with his right knee sprain. The 27-year-old hurler was booted from the Astros’ rotation after struggling to a 7.77 ERA over 22 innings during the month of June. He’s expected to function in a long relief role this time around.

Astros selected the contract of OF Lucas Spence from Triple-A Sugar Land.

It’s the first trip to the big leagues for the 23-year-old outfielder, who replaces the injured Brice Matthews (knee) on the Astros’ roster. Spence was hitting .258/.353/.424 with six homers, 44 RBI and 13 stolen bases in 278 plate appearances, mostly at Double-A Corpus Christi. He’s unlikely to see enough action to gain relevance from a fantasy perspective.
