Joe Ryan Could Begin Rehab Assignment Soon
1 year agoMinnesota Twins right-hander Joe Ryan (groin) threw a successful bullpen session on Tuesday, and if he comes out of it feeling good on Wednesday, the next step would be for him to go on a minor-league rehab assignment. It means that Ryan is pretty close to rejoining Minnesota's starting rotation for the stretch run. The 27-year-old will probably be ready to come off the injured list after a couple of rehab starts down on the farm. Barring a setback, Ryan could be back in the big leagues later this month. Before going on the IL, he went 9-8 with a 4.43 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 152 strikeouts in 126 innings over his 22 starts. The strikeout upside makes him valuable in mixed leagues, but Ryan was struggling before his injury, posting an 8.87 ERA with 11 homers allowed in his previous five starts, although he had struck out 38 in 23 1/3 innings.
