Joe Ryan Exits Game with Triceps Tightness, Fans Concerned
Joe Ryan was forced to exit the game against Chicago Cubs due to right triceps tightness, leaving fans and team coaches troubled by the repercussions.
Minnesota Twins experienced an unpleasant event on Wednesday, as pitcher Joe Ryan was forced to exit the game against Chicago Cubs due to right triceps tightness. The episode took place in the field’s bottom, as Ryan executed a 1-1 splitter to a high and outside path on Cubs’ Pete Crow-Armstrong, evidently signalling for assistance to the team officials. Reportedly, the 28-year-old pitcher then vacated the field, supported by manager Rocco Baldelli and head athletic trainer Nick Paparesta.
Ryan pole-vaulted into the Twins’ Man starting rotation relatively recently but had an evident contribution to the team’s performance throughout the season. The pitcher appeared notably effective, showcasing a 3.60 ERA, a 0.99 WHIP, and 135 innings of play. Ryan accomplished 147 strikeouts in this short interval of time, placing fourth among all the American League pitchers. The scope of Ryan’s injury is yet to be thoroughly assessed; however, the situation with the pitcher’s early exit and the appearance of Trevor Richards as his replacement left the fans and team coaches troubled by the possible repercussions of the sportive injury on the team’s pitch strength.
