In a different move, Joe Ryan was placed on the 15-day IL with a groin strain, per Twins writer Betsy Helfand.</p><h2><b>Dallas Keuchel joins the Twins’ active roster</b></h2><p>Keuchel, 35, won the 2015 American League Cy Young award while pitching for the Houston Astros. That season, the left-hander led the league in wins (20), innings pitched (232), total shutouts (two), and WHIP (1.017). Keuchel also posted a sparkling 2.48 ERA to go along with a career-high 216 strikeouts.</p><p>He has not pitched in the big leagues since 2022, when he appeared in 14 games between the Chicago White Sox, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Texas Rangers.</p><p>His MLB future was in question following the ’22 campaign, but Keuchel is receiving another chance with the Twins.</p><h2><b>Joe Ryan placed on IL</b></h2><p>Minnesota’s pitching staff has been solid for the most part in 2023. Ryan emerged as a star-caliber pitcher in 2022 but has labored throughout this season. He currently owns a 4.43 ERA and 1.135 WHIP. He has struck out 152 hitters, however.</p><p>The Twins have aspirations of winning the American League Central division. In order to do so, they will need their pitching to step up. Ryan will play a big role assuming he can return and stay healthy at some point down the road.</p><p>Perhaps they will catch lightning in a bottle with Dallas Keuchel. He obviously is not the same pitcher he once was but his veteran expertise should given him a chance to perform well in Minnesota.</p><p>We will continue to monitor and provide updates on the Twins as they are made available.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Nevertheless, Ryan is pleased with the team’s performance which was led by none other than himself and he knows such an emphatic win is necessary for the Twins’ playoff hopes.</p><p>“Just bouncing back from last series, offense was great today, put together some good at-bats, give me a little extra time in the dugout so it was nice, [and] defense was electric,” Ryan said <a href="https://twitter.com/BallySportsNOR/status/1569878411329282049">in an interview with Bally Sports North after the game</a>. “They’re a young squad, they hit me pretty good last time, so just made some adjustments and some things [pitching coach] Pete [Maki] and I were working on got in there.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Joe Ryan became the first rookie in <a href="https://twitter.com/Twins?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Twins</a> history to complete seven innings without allowing a hit. <a href="https://twitter.com/KatieStorm?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@KatieStorm</a> spoke with Joe after the impressive performance against the Royals. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MNTwins?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#MNTwins</a> <a href="https://t.co/49ycfz8pnd">pic.twitter.com/49ycfz8pnd</a></p><p>— Bally Sports North (@BallySportsNOR) <a href="https://twitter.com/BallySportsNOR/status/1569878411329282049?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 14, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Ryan, in his last start against the Royals, pitched 5.1 innings, allowing six hits and two earned runs, while fanning six. He is the first rookie in Twins franchise history to complete at least seven innings with no hits, and impressive performance for the 26-year old. When asked about his mindset throughout the no-hit performance, even Ryan couldn’t give a definitive answer.</p><p>” I don’t know, I just try to go make pitches and yeah, got ’em. Can’t give you an answer on that, sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t.”</p><p>Joe Ryan and the Twins will have two more games left against the Royals in the series before entering a pivotal matchup against the Guardians which would go a long way towards deciding the division crown.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Unfortunately, Wednesday afternoon provided an update that will bring Minnesota and their fans back down to Earth. Ahead of the Twins game against the Detroit Tigers, the club received news of an <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/twins-news-minnesota-makes-drastic-royce-lewis-decision-amid-carlos-correas-return/">unfortunate</a> setback on talented starting pitcher Joe Ryan, as reported by Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MNTwins?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">#MNTwins</a> placed Joe Ryan on the COVID-19 injured list.</p><p>Ryan was scheduled to start Thursday vs. the Royals, so instead Devin Smeltzer will be called up from Triple-A to make the start.</p><p>Smeltzer threw 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball vs. the Royals in Kansas City last week.</p><p>— Aaron Gleeman (@AaronGleeman) <a href="https://twitter.com/AaronGleeman/status/1529494992628109313?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">May 25, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Per Gleeman, Ryan has been placed on the COVID-19 injured list. The 25-year-old was scheduled to take the mound on Thursday against the Kansas City Royals, but, in an unfortunate twist ahead of the game against the Tigers, will be unable to take the ball.</p><p>Ryan, who is technically in his first full season in the big leagues, has been outstanding for the Twins in 2022, pitching to a 5-2 record with a 2.28 ERA and a 42:14 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 43 1/3 innings pitched.</p><p>The former no. 11 prospect in the Tampa Bay Rays’ system, Ryan arrived in Minnesota via the Nelson Cruz trade in 2021.</p><p>It’s unclear how much time he’ll miss on the COVID-19 injured list. The Twins <a href="https://twitter.com/Twins/status/1529491017493250055">announced</a> that they recalled left-handed pitcher Devin Smeltzer to replace Ryan on the 26-man roster.</p><p>Smeltzer is expected to take the ball for the Twins on Thursday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
