Playing catch
Ryan (glute) threw on flat ground Monday, Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com reports.
Analyse
The right-hander landed on the injured list Friday due to a left glute strain, but it's encouraging that he was shut down from throwing for only a few days. Ryan will be eligible to be reinstated for the Aug. 21 matchup with the Padres, though it remains to be seen if he'll be ready to go at that point.

Officially placed on 15-day IL
The Twins placed Ryan on the 15-day injured list Friday with a left glute strain.
Analyse
Imaging revealed the injury Thursday, and it's unclear at this point if Ryan will need to miss more than the minimum 15 days. With Ryan off to the injured list, Zebby Matthews has been summoned back from Triple-A St. Paul and will start Friday's game against the Brewers. Ryan owns a 3.65 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 138:27 K:BB across 125.2 innings spanning 23 starts this season.

Diagnosed with glute strain
MRI results revealed a strain in Ryan's left glute Thursday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Manager Derek Shelton said Wednesday that Ryan's injury has prevented him from replicating his delivery, and the right-hander is likely to spend time on the injured list now that he's been officially diagnosed with a strain. It's unclear whether he'll need to miss more than the 15-day minimum, but the Twins may provide a return timeline once he officially lands on the IL.

Dealing with lower-body injury
Manager Derek Shelton said Wednesday that Ryan is scheduled to undergo further evaluation for a lower-body injury, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Shelton said that Ryan's injury has left him physically unable to replicate his delivery, which helps to explain why the 30-year-old has given up 16 earned runs in just 15.1 innings since the All-Star break. It remains unclear what exactly he's dealing with, but his next start -- lined up for Sunday against the Brewers -- is in jeopardy as the team waits for a diagnosis.
