Ryan gave up one run over five innings with eight strikeouts and one walk Wednesday for Triple-A St. Paul. He's given up two runs with 17 strikeouts in nine innings in his first two starts for the Saints after he was both traded to the Twins and returned from playing in the Olympics.
Ryan and Drew Strotman were traded from the Rays to the Twins as part of a trade for Nelson Cruz. Ryan is a candidate to be called up the majors in September as the Twins may decide to give him some major-league innings as they evaluate their options for 2022. Ryan has a 3.41 ERA and 12.5 K/9 at Triple-A between St. Paul and Durham.
