Twins fans, we’ve got some tough news to break. Starting pitcher Joe Ryan left Sunday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays early—and it’s not looking good.

The game started just before noon in Minneapolis, but Ryan’s day was over after just nine pitches. He threw a fastball to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. that missed up and out of the zone for a walk. Then, in a worrying moment, Ryan gestured to the dugout for help.

When the training staff came out, they didn’t check any specific part of his body. Instead, Ryan had a brief conversation, and the decision was made to pull him from the game. That kind of quick exit often suggests something may have been bothering him before the start—but right now, it’s all speculation.

For the Twins, this is a major concern. Ryan has been a front-end starter for the team, and losing him for any extended period would be a huge blow. The bullpen might have a long afternoon ahead, but that’s the least of Minnesota’s worries. Right now, everyone’s just hoping the injury isn’t serious.

We’ll keep you updated as more information comes in. In the meantime, here’s hoping for some good news out of the Twins’ clubhouse.
