    Minnesota Twins catch a break as Joe Ryan avoids a major elbow injury—does this shift the AL Central race?

    PANIC: How Joe Ryan's Elbow Injury Could CHANGE the Minnesota Twins Pitching and Deadline Strategies

    Minnesota Twins face a pitching crisis as Joe Ryan exits after just eight pitches with elbow soreness, reigniting fears after Pablo López’s season-ending injury.

Baumgartner examines Ryan’s injury trends, the team’s trade deadline outlook, and who might step up in the rotation.   Stock up for Byron Buxton, whose red-hot streak has energized the offense, while Bailey Ober showcases how pitching, not velocity, keeps Minnesota in games. On the flip side, Simeon Woods Richardson and Royce Lewis are trending down as key prospects struggle to find consistency.
