2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ryan was on track for the best season of his career with a 3.60 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 115 ERA+ before suffering a Grade 2 teres major strain during a start Aug. 9 that caused him to miss the rest of the season. Ryan doesn't have great velocity (93.9 average mph fastball) but has an extremely deceptive four-seam fastball that helped him generate an excellent 27.3 K% and 13.1% swinging-strike rate. Meanwhile, his off-speed pitches graded below average. His real weakness is as a flyball pitcher (35.7 GB%), he can be prone to the long ball. However, he improved last season with 1.27 HR/9 from 1.78 HR/9 in 2023. Ryan will be counted on at the top of the Minnesota rotation and could improve significantly if he can keep the ball in the park, improve his off-speed repertoire and stay healthy (he also struggled late in 2023 after missing time with a groin injury).

Signed a one-year, $3 million contract with the Twins in January of 2025.
Settles in after early homer
Ryan (11-5) earned the win Friday against the Royals, allowing one run on four hits while striking out five over five innings. He did not issue a walk.
Analysis
Ryan's only blemish of the day came against the very first batter he faced, as he surrendered a leadoff homer to Mike Yastrzemski before settling in to blank Kansas City the rest of the way. The right-hander has now allowed two runs or fewer in seven of his last eight starts, continuing to provide elite consistency atop Minnesota's rotation. Ryan will take a sharp 2.79 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 146:25 K:BB into his next scheduled outing against the Yankees.

2020
Ryan had a roller-coaster season for the Twins as he had a 2.98 ERA with a 9.65 K/9 and 0.91 WHIP through his first 15 starts of the season. He then seemingly ran out of gas by posting a 8.63 ERA and 1.81 WHIP over this next seven starts before he went on the injured list with a strained groin. His final eight starts after he returned were not much better (5.90 ERA) and the Twins limited him to one short two-inning start in the playoffs. Ryan doesn't have great velocity (92.3 average mph fastball) but has an extremely deceptive four-seam fastball that helped him generate an excellent 29.3% K% and 14.2% swinging strike rate. His weakness is as a fly-ball pitcher (31.6% GB%) he can be prone to the long ball. Home runs were especially an issue last season with a career-worst 1.78 HR/9 driven by a high 14.9% HB/FB%. He usually limits the damage for home runs by typically having one of the lowest walk rates in baseball (5.1% BB%). Ryan will be counted on at the top of the Twins rotation and could improve significantly if he can keep the ball in the park and improve one of his off-speed pitches, which all took a step backward last year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Trade to Boston wasn't close
According to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, the Red Sox were "not even close" to acquiring Ryan from the Twins at the trade deadline last week.
Analysis
Minnesota had a fire sale at the deadline, but Ryan was one of the few Twins whose name surfaced in trade rumors that didn't end up being dealt. The right-hander is in the midst of the best year of his career with a 2.83 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 141:25 K:BB across 127.1 innings and is under team control through 2027, so the Twins were understandably in no rush to trade their ace.
