Summary

Minnesota Twins pitcher Joe Ryan has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a glute strain. After struggling with his delivery in the second half of the season, where he posted a 9.39 ERA across three starts, Ryan underwent imaging that confirmed the injury. He described his performance as feeling like he was "throwing underwater" and acknowledged that trying to push through the discomfort led to bad habits. As he recovers, Ryan is working on mechanical adjustments. The status of his return to mound work remains uncertain, dependent on his progress under the team's oversight. Meanwhile, outfielder Byron Buxton appears to be making strides in his recovery from a hip injury, potentially returning soon without needing a rehab assignment.
