To create space on the active and 40-man rosters, infielder <strong>Elliot Soto<\/strong> has been designated for assignment.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan has missed a bit more than three weeks due to virus issues.  The length of his absence of him necessitated a one-game rehab stint with Triple-A St. Paul, where the righty tossed three scoreless innings last Thursday.  He&#8217;s now ready to return to the MLB rotation, where he&#8217;s made eight starts this season.  Through 43 1\/3 innings, the 26-year-old owns a sparkling 2.28 ERA with a solid 24.3% strikeout rate.  Acquired from the Rays as part of last summer&#8217;s <strong>Nelson Cruz<\/strong> trade, Ryan was surprisingly tabbed Minnesota&#8217;s Opening Day starter and has allowed fewer than three earned runs per nine innings over his first 13 big league appearances.<\/p>\n<p>Soto was selected onto the major league roster yesterday, and he loses his spot after just one game.  The 32-year-old didn&#8217;t play in last night&#8217;s win over Seattle, leaving him without an MLB appearance since a three-game stint with the 2020 Angels.  Signed to a minor league deal over the winter, Soto has hit .213 \/ .327 \/ .331 with a pair of home runs in 159 trips to the plate with St. Paul.<\/p>\n<p>Minnesota will likely place the right-handed hitter on waivers within the next few days.  Having previously been outrighted in his career, he&#8217;d have the right to refuse a minor league assignment in favor of free agency if he passes through unclaimed.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/5067886\/300x250_2_MLB -->\n<\/div>\n<p>    .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Twins announced that right-hander Joe Ryan has been reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list to start this evening&#8217;s game against the Mariners.
