Ryan (12-6) allowed five runs (two earned) on six hits and a walk over four innings Tuesday, striking out six and taking a loss against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Ryan worked through two scoreless frames before coughing up a two-run shot to Shea Langeliers in the third inning. The Athletics then plated three unearned runs in the fourth after a fielding error by Darrell Hernaiz. It was the first time all year that Ryan did not complete at least five innings, and his first time giving up more than two runs since July 26. Despite the overall lackluster performance, he's allowed two or fewer earned runs in nine of his last 10 starts. Ryan is sporting a 2.77 ERA with a 159:28 K:BB through 143 innings. He's currently in line for a road matchup against the White Sox this weekend.

Ryan (12-5) earned the win Wednesday against the Yankees, allowing one run on four hits and two walks in 6.2 innings. He struck out seven.
EDGE Analysis
Ryan has been a model of consistency for the Twins in 2025, having now spun at least five innings in each of his first 24 starts of the year. The All-Star right-hander has yielded greater than two runs on just six occasions all season, and he's fanned at least five 19 times on the campaign. Ryan will tote a stellar 2.72 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 153:27 K:BB through 139 frames into his next scheduled outing, which lines up to come against the Athletics at home.

Ryan (11-5) earned the win Friday against the Royals, allowing one run on four hits over five innings while striking out five.
EDGE Analysis
Ryan's only blemish of the day came on the very first batter he faced, surrendering 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.

Ryan did not factor into the decision in Friday's game against the Guardians, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out four across six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Ryan yielded a run in each of the first two innings, but he finished his outing strong by retiring 14 of the last 15 batters he faced. He now has 12 quality starts this season (six of which have come over his last nine outings), and his 2.83 ERA and 0.93 WHIP (across 127.1 innings) rank eighth and fifth, respectively, among qualified starters. Ryan is slated to make his next start against the Tigers on the road next week.

Ryan (10-5) took the loss Saturday, allowing five runs (four earned) on six hits and one walk over five innings against the Nationals. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander wasn't at his best Saturday, giving up a run in both the third and fourth innings before allowing a bases-loaded double to CJ Abrams in the fifth inning. While far from his strongest outing, Ryan has been excellent overall this season, posting a 2.82 ERA and 0.92 WHIP through 21 starts, with an impressive 10.2 K/9 and a 1.8 BB/9. His strong performance, despite the Twins sitting below .500, has sparked trade rumors, though it would likely take a significant return for Minnesota to consider moving him.

Ryan (10-4) took home the win in Sunday's victory over Colorado, allowing one run on five hits while striking out 11 over seven innings.
EDGE Analysis
Ryan continues to build on what's shaping up to be the best season of his career, tossing seven innings for the fifth time this year. The right-hander missed bats consistently, tying his season high with 11 strikeouts, and limited damage, with his lone blemish coming via a solo homer to Mickey Moniak in the third inning. Ryan has been lights-out over his last five outings, sporting a 1.45 ERA with a sharp 36:3 K:BB across 31 innings. Now sitting at a 2.63 ERA and 0.90 WHIP on the season, the 29-year-old will look to keep rolling in his next start, scheduled for Saturday against the Nationals.

Ryan (9-4) earned the win Friday against the Pirates, giving up one run on five hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old right-hander continues to provide length for the Twins, having now worked at least five innings in each of his 19 outings this season. Ryan has also proven to be a fairly high-floor fantasy option during the first half of the year, fanning at least four in all of his appearances. He holds a 2.72 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 121:23 K:BB across 109.1 frames, which helped Ryan make his first All-Star team in 2025.

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.
EDGE 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.

Ryan (8-4) allowed a run on five hits over seven innings Tuesday, striking out four and taking a loss against Miami.
EDGE Analysis
After yielding a solo homer to Kyle Stowers to begin the second inning, Ryan retired 13 straight Marlins and did not allow another extra-base hit during his outing. However, the Twins were shut out, leading to an unfortunate loss for Ryan. He threw 57 of 88 pitches for strikes and completed seven innings for just the second time since the start of May. Despite the loss, he dropped his ERA to 2.75 with a 108:20 K:BB across 98.1 frames. Ryan is slated to face the Rays at home this weekend.

Ryan (8-3) tallied the win Wednesday against the Mariners, giving up no runs on three hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out eight.
EDGE Analysis
The Mariners didn't offer much resistance Wednesday, mustering just three singles against Ryan. It was the fourth time this year that the 29-year-old right-hander produced a scoreless outing, and he efficiently fired 63 of his 91 pitches for strikes en route to fanning at least eight for the first time since May 16. Ryan will take an excellent 2.86 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 104:20 K:BB across 91.1 frames into his next appearance, which is set to come on the road against the Marlins.
