Twins' Joe Ryan: On track to start Wednesday
Joe Ryan (arm) is slated to make his next start Wednesday against the Royals at Target Field, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.Ryan had initially been lined up to start Sunday versus the Athletics, but the Minnesota Twins scratched him due to what manager Derek Shelton referred to as "right arm fatigue."

The upcoming start versus the Royals could be Ryan's last with the Twins, as the 30-year-old is expected to be a sought-after commodity ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline.
