1 DAY AGO • SI.COM

Chased early in loss Ryan (0-1) took the loss against the Pirates on Sunday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks with three strikeouts over 1.1 innings.

Impact Ryan allowed a leadoff homer and struggled overall, throwing just 21 of 39 pitches for strikes with four whiffs. The 28-year-old yielded two earned runs over 4.1 innings in a two-start stint with the Tigers and posted a 4.39 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 47:9 K:BB across 41 Triple-A frames this season. He was a prized asset in the Tarik Skubal trade with the Dodgers and should factor into the Tigers' rotation plans in 2027.

Headed for another start Ryan is slated to start Sunday's game against the Pirates at Comerica Park, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Ryan will get a second turn through the rotation to close out the Tigers' season. After getting called up form Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Ryan started and struck out three batters over three shutout frames in a no-decision against the Nationals. He tossed 43 pitches in that outing and will once again be operating with a restricted workload Sunday, making him a risky option for fantasy managers streaming him with the hope of scooping up a win. Keider Montero or Jack Flaherty (forearm) could end up piggybacking Ryan in the season finale.

River Ryan's Tigers debut offers hope Tarik Skubal trade will be an exception to the rule River Ryan's scoreless Tigers debut offered hope that the Tarik Skubal deal might work out for Detroit in the long run.

Strong showing in team debut Ryan did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing two hits and a walk over three scoreless innings against the Nationals. He struck out three.

Impact Ryan looked strong in his Tigers debut and first big-league appearance since August 2024, keeping the Nationals off the scoreboard before departing at 43 pitches (26 strikes). The shortened workload doesn't come as much of a surprise, given that the 28-year-old logged just 4.2 frames over two starts with Triple-A Toledo before being recalled. In five career starts in the majors, Ryan has posted a stellar 1.16 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 21:10 K:BB across 23.1 innings. The right-hander is tentatively lined up to make one more start to close the regular season Sunday against the Pirates.

Summoned for Tigers debut The Tigers recalled Ryan from Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

Impact Ryan will make his Tigers debut Monday with a start against the Nationals, though he will be limited after topping out at 2.2 innings and 39 pitches in his last rehab outing. Acquired from the Dodgers in the Tarik Skubal trade, Ryan missed all of 2025 due to Tommy John surgery and was shelved for nearly three months by a hamstring injury in 2026. The 28-year-old has flashed electric stuff when on the bump, however, and logged a 1.33 ERA and 18:9 K:BB over 20.1 frames in four starts for Los Angeles in 2024. Ryan is in line for a second start this week on Sunday versus the Pirates, though his workload will be limited in that outing, as well.

Primed for Tigers debut The Tigers will call up Ryan from Triple-A Toledo to start Monday's game against the Nationals, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander made four appearances for the Dodgers in 2024 and is now set to make his Tigers debut after being acquired at the trade deadline this summer. Ryan was sidelined nearly three months by a hamstring injury but was recently given a clean bill of health and made two starts for Toledo. The 28-year-old topped out at 2.2 frames in those outings and should have a limited workload again Monday, with Keider Montero expected to piggyback him.

River Ryan's promising organizational debut complicates Tigers' 2027 rotation River Ryan just made his organizational debut for the Tigers over a month after the Tarik Skubal trade.

SEPTEMBER 9 • MOTORCITYBENGALS.COM

Slated to start Wednesday Ryan (hamstring) will start Wednesday at Triple-A Toledo, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact It will be Ryan's organizational debut after he was acquired from the Dodgers in the Tarik Skubal trade last month. The 28-year-old has made just eight starts this season, registering a 4.46 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 43:8 K:BB across 36.1 innings with Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to being dealt to the Tigers. Ryan figures to be a member of Detroit's rotation next season but could debut with the big club later this month.

SEPTEMBER 6 • MOTORCITYBENGALS.COM

Nearing return to mound Ryan (hamstring/paternity) is expected to be cleared to pitch in games again soon, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Ryan has not pitched since June because of a hamstring strain, and he's also been away on paternity leave recently. The 27-year-old was acquired from the Dodgers at the trade deadline in the Tarik Skubal deal, and he will be making his organizational debut when he gets into a game. The Tigers remain hopeful that Ryan can pitch for them before the end of this season, but it's not a given after he had such a long layoff.

AUGUST 2 • MLB.COM

Moved to Detroit The Tigers acquired Ryan, Zyhir Hope and Brady Smith from the Dodgers on Saturday in exchange for Tarik Skubal, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Tigers are acquiring a significant prospect haul in Ryan, Hope and Smith in order to send their southpaw ace to the two-time defending World Series champions. Ryan made his major-league debut for the Dodgers in 2025 but did not crack the team's Opening Day roster. He's spent the entire year in Triple-A, where he had a 4.46 ERA and 1.30 WHIP across 36.1 innings before being placed on Oklahoma City's 7-day injured list in late June due to a hamstring strain. It's unclear when Ryan will be cleared to pitch again, but he has a clearer path to returning to major-league action now that he's a part of the Tigers' organization.
