Twins right-hander Joe Ryan has suffered a lower back injury, prompting an MRI to assess the situation, which could impact his participation in the World Baseball Classic. The 29-year-old was scratched from a spring training start due to tightness and is expected to join Team USA in Houston at the end of the month. Ryan, coming off a strong season with a 13-10 record and an All-Star appearance, faces uncertainty about his recovery timeline. His injury follows news that teammate Pablo Lopez will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery.
