Rest-of-Season Projections
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.
Fans eight in no-decision
Ryan did not factor in the decision during Sunday's extra-inning loss to Tampa Bay. He allowed two runs on six hits and a walk over six innings while striking out eight.
Analysis
Ryan punched out the side in the first inning and retired the first six batters he faced before Taylor Walls popped a solo shot to begin the third. The Rays scored another run on a Jonathan Aranda single in the fourth. Ryan forced 21 whiffs Sunday, his second-most of the season, with 12 coming on the fastball. He's given up three or fewer runs in 12 of his last 13 outings, posting a terrific 2.33 ERA and 88:18 K:BB during that stretch. His season ERA sits at 2.76 alongside a 116:21 K:BB across 104.1 frames. Ryan is in line to face the Pirates at home next weekend.

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
Possible trade candidate
The Red Sox are among the teams eyeing Ryan as a potential trade candidate, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
Analysis
It's not a guarantee the Twins will be sellers, and even if they are, Ryan could stay put, considering he is under team control through the end of the 2027 campaign. However, Ryan is sure to land the Twins a huge trade package if they do decide to deal him. The 29-year-old boasts a 2.76 ERA and 116:21 K:BB over 104.1 innings for Minnesota this season.
