Ryan has made good progress in his recovery from a shoulder injury that ended his season in early August, Twins president of baseball operations Derek Falvey told MLB.com. "Reports on him have been nothing but positive, kind of exactly what we expect for this to recover," Falvey said. "So that's good news." Ryan suffered a Grade 2 teres major strain during a start Aug. 9 and missed the rest of the regular season. While no details were given about Ryan's progress, it sounds like he'll be ready for the start of spring training. He'll return to work at the top of the Minnesota rotation after going 7-7 with a 3.60 ERA and 9.8 K/9 in 23 starts last season.

The Twins transferred Ryan (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday. Ryan won't be eligible for activation until Oct. 9, ending his regular season. The right-hander is dealing with a Grade 2 teres major strain and could potentially be available if the Twins make the postseason, but a previous timeline of "weeks to months" doesn't provide much clarity. The transaction, along with Trevor Richards' DFA, opens up spots for Michael Tonkin and Caleb Boushley on the 40-man and 26-man rosters, respectively.

The Twins placed Ryan on the 15-day injured list Friday with a Grade 2 right teres major strain, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports. Manager Rocco Baldelli said Friday that Ryan's recovery will take "weeks to months," so the right-hander's season could be over. The injury is a massive blow to Ryan's fantasy managers and to a Twins club fighting for a playoff spot. Louie Varland will be recalled from Triple-A St. Paul to start the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians, and he might now be needed in the big-league rotation indefinitely.

Ryan (7-7) earned the win Friday against the White Sox, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks over 6.1 innings. He struck out seven. The Minnesota right-hander took care of business against a feeble Chicago lineup, picking up his first post-All-Star break win in this 103-pitch performance. The only blemish on his evening came in the third inning when Miguel Vargas launched a two-run homer to left field. Ryan has now pitched to a 3.59 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 145:23 K:BB across 133 innings this season. The 28-year-old is scheduled to make his next against the Cubs at Wrigley Field next week.

Ryan did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing four runs on seven hits over six innings against the Brewers. He struck out six. Ryan started strong, managing to avoid pitching from the stretch through four innings, with a third-inning two-out solo homer from Eric Haase representing the only batter to reach base against him. Ryan then ran into trouble in the fifth, allowing hits to four of the first five batters he faced with three runs crossing the plate. He managed to complete the sixth in line for the win, but a leaky bullpen prevented him from grabbing his seventh victory of the season. Ryan has now allowed nine runs through 11.1 innings over his last two starts, though his season stats remain impressive. Through 20 starts, Ryan has completed 120.2 innings with a 3.65 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 130 strikeouts. He's currently projected to next take the hill when the Twins travel to Detroit to take on the Tigers next weekend.
