PT TOMORROW: AL Central - Ryan set to rejoin Minnesota rotation

Minnesota Twins

Joe Ryan (RHP, MIN) has been out since early August with a groin strain but is set to return over the weekend. He got up to 71 pitches in his lone rehab start at Triple-A, where he allowed 1 ER in 4 IP with 7 K. He had a crazy run of starts prior to hitting the IL. Ryan whiffed 52 batters in 32.1 IP across his last seven starts but allowed a whopping 17 HR and 31 ER (8.63 ERA) during that time. It appears he'll face a tough Texas lineup in his first two starts off the IL, but he should soon resume his role as a reliable option for the stretch run.

The Twins hold a 4.5 game lead in the American League Central and it's not clear at this point if Ryan will bump someone from the rotation or if they will go with six starters...

Almost!
