Ryan is a candidate to be called up to start against the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Manager Rocco Baldelli said "we could see him in September" when asked about Ryan being recalled. The Twins will push back Andrew Albers' next start to Saturday, which leaves an opening on Sept. 1 -- also the first day of expanded rosters. Ryan has given up just up two runs with 17 strikeouts in nine innings in his first two starts at Triple-A after he was both traded to the Twins and returned from playing in the Olympics.
