Joe Ryan placed on 15-day IL, Twins adjust rotation for upcoming series
Summary

The Minnesota Twins placed Joe Ryan on the 15-day injured list due to a mild left glute strain discovered after an MRI. The All-Star right-hander had struggled recently, showing a 7.59 ERA in his last four starts. Ryan had returned to Minneapolis for evaluation after expressing he wasn't feeling like himself. With only two scheduled off days before their trip to San Diego, the Twins activated Zebby Matthews from Triple-A to fill the rotation spot. This development comes as the Twins sit three games behind the White Sox in the American League Central and are half a game out of the Wild Card.
