Joe Ryan Potential Addition to Team USA WBC Roster

Joe Ryan is a candidate to join Team USA's World Baseball Classic roster if the team advances past Friday's quarterfinal against Canada. Ryan was initially left off the roster due to early spring back inflammation. His availability remains uncertain, as he is scheduled for a bullpen session Saturday, which likely precludes him from pitching in a potential semifinal. He could potentially be available if Team USA reaches the tournament final on Tuesday.
