CHICAGO (AP) — Minnesota Twins starter Joe Ryan left during the third inning of Wednesday afternoon’s game against the Cubs with right triceps tightness.
The right-hander was four pitches into facing leadoff hitter Pete Crow-Armstrong when he stepped off the rubber. He left the field after a quick consult with the training staff and was replaced by fellow RHP Trevor Richards after throwing 33 pitches.
Ryan (7-7, 3.60 ERA), seeking his second straight win, gave up Michael Busch’s solo homer in the first but retired the other six batters he faced.
