Joe Ryan

The MLB Trade Deadline is still more than a month away, and Twins fans are hoping for a much less active day than last year.

The Minnesota Twins embark on their 2026 campaign along with most of the league Thursday on Opening Day, visiting the Baltimore Orioles in their season opener.

What a turnaround for the Twins, snapping a tough home skid with a stellar performance that had fans buzzing.

An MRI revealed a Grade 2 strain of the teres major in his right shoulder for Ryan, who left Wednesday's start against the Chicago Cubs.

The dismal Chicago White Sox (9-21) walk it off with a 3-2 victory Tuesday in the south side of Chicago.

Ryan (5-0) joined Jerry Koosman in 1979 as the only Twins pitchers to win their first five starts since the franchise moved to Minnesota for the 1961 season.

Joe Ryan (4-0) allowed three runs and six hits with three strikeouts and one walk in six innings for the win.

Minnesota, which had lost 13 of its previous 16 games against the Yankees, had its highest-scoring inning against New York in a top of the first that took 28 minutes.

The Twins swept their opening series for the first time since 2017 when they also did it against Kansas City.

Minnesota’s Joe Ryan allowed three earned runs in his first three innings.
