Joe Ryan is set to start for the Minnesota Twins against the Chicago White Sox on Monday. The right-handed pitcher is looking for his fifth straight quality start, having posted a 1.75 ERA during his last four outings. Twins GM Jeremy Zoll is weighing trade options for Ryan, one of the top candidates ahead of the deadline, as the team remains close in the race for the AL Wild Card. The decision may become more critical after the recent designation of pitcher Simeon Woods Richardson, creating depth concerns for the rotation. Ryan is currently under contract and will be arbitration-eligible in 2027, adding to his trade appeal.
