Twins starter Joe Ryan gets confirmation of shoulder strain that will keep him out indefinitely
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Minnesota Twins starter Joe Ryan got a second opinion that confirmed the team’s initial diagnosis of a significantly strained muscle in his throwing shoulder that will keep the right-hander sidelined for an extended period. Twins trainer Nick Paparesta said Friday that Ryan visited with Dr. Neal ElAttrache in California. ElAttrache reaffirmed the Twins’ diagnosis. “Felt the same way we did about the injury, being a Grade 2 teres major strain of his shoulder,” Paparesta said. “Joe is going to be down for a period of time that we discussed earlier, weeks probably, and we’ll kind of reassess him at that point in time. You don’t want to say the season’s over at any point in time, so we’ll wait and see how things go once we get a chance to look at him again.” The update came a week after the Twins put Ryan on the 15-day injured list because of the strain to the muscle that runs from the shoulder blade to the upper arm. Manager Rocco Baldelli said at that time Ryan would be sidelined for “weeks to months,” but stopped short of declaring him done for the season.
