Minnesota Twins right-hander Joe Ryan left Sunday's start against the Toronto Blue Jays due to elbow soreness after facing just two batters. Ryan struck out Yohendrick Pinango to start the game, then walked Kazuma Okamoto before signaling to the dugout and exiting.

Ryan has been remarkably healthy, making seven starts this season, 30 last season, and at least 23 starts in each of the previous three seasons.
