Minnesota Twins vs. Washington Nationals - News - May 05, 2026

Joe Ryan - MRI on elbow comes back clean Ryan played catch Tuesday after an MRI on his right elbow came back negative, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ryan was forced to depart Sunday's start against the Blue Jays after throwing just nine pitches due to right elbow soreness. However, he has managed to avoid a serious injury and is slated to throw a bullpen session Wednesday. Ryan is tentatively scheduled to start a game this weekend in Cleveland, and he should be cleared to take the ball against the Guardians if he gets through his bullpen session without a setback.

Impact It's the first bit of throwing the right-hander has done since he was diagnosed with a right flexor strain in late March. He will be brought along slowly in his rehab before being evaluated for a potential return to the Nationals' rotation.

Clayton Beeter - Resumes mound work Beeter (forearm) has been cleared to resume throwing off the mound, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Impact Beeter was placed on the 15-day injured list a little over a week ago because of right forearm soreness. An MRI came back negative, and Beeter has taken a big step forward with his rehab with the resumption of mound work. It's unlikely he will be ready to return when eligible May 8, but it shouldn't be long after that. Beeter has essentially been co-closer with Gus Varland this season and should return to that role once he's deemed physically ready.

Luis García Jr. - Diagnosed with minor wrist sprain Garcia has been diagnosed with a minor sprain of his right hand/wrist, Andrew Golden of TheBanner.com reports.

Impact Garcia suffered the injury during Sunday's game against the Brewers, forcing his removal. It seems likely that the injury will result in a stint on the injured list, though the Nationals have yet to announce any such transaction. If Garcia does need some down time, Curtis Mead would be due for an uptick in playing time at first base for the Nationals.
