MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Twins have placed starting pitcher Joe Ryan on the 15-day injured list with a significantly strained muscle in his throwing shoulder. Ryan has a Grade 2 strain of the teres major. It's a thick, flat muscle that runs from the shoulder blade to the upper arm. The diagnosis was announced before the Twins began a four-game series against the AL Central-leading Cleveland Guardians. Manager Rocco Baldelli said Ryan would be sidelined for "weeks to months" but stopped short of declaring him done for the season. The Twins also placed rookie infielder Brooks Lee on the 10-day injured list.
