Joe Ryan Cleared for Catching After Negative Elbow MRI

Minnesota Twins ace Joe Ryan provided a positive update Tuesday, playing catch after an MRI on his right elbow returned negative results. Ryan exited Sunday's win over the Blue Jays after facing just two batters due to discomfort. Expressing relief at having "dodged a bullet," Ryan and the team are now monitoring his recovery to determine the next steps for his return to the rotation following the clean medical evaluation.
