Brendan Ryan left Tuesday's game against the Yankees after five innings with a stiff neck. Ryan went 1-for-2 with an RBI single before being replaced by Luis Rodriguez to begin the sixth inning. He is being called day-to-day right now.

Brendan Ryan hit a solo home run in Seattle's loss to the Angels on Monday. Ryan's third home run of the season was his first since July 24 (23 games). Ryan is just 6-for-43 (.140) since coming off the disabled list on August 22.

Brendan Ryan returned to action on Tuesday August 23.

Brendan Ryan was held out of the first half of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Indians. Ryan played his first game since August 3 on Monday night, but finished 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. The Mariners clearly don't believe his left shoulder is healthy enough yet to resume everyday shortstop duties.

Brendan Ryan (shoulder) is back in the Mariners' starting lineup on Monday evening. Ryan was activated from the disabled list Friday but sat out all weekend as a precautionary measure. He missed close to three weeks with a sprained AC joint in his shoulder.

Brendan Ryan didn't play Friday in his first game back from the DL and is questionable for Saturday's game, according to manager Eric Wedge. So why did the Mariners activate him? Ryan missed the minimum 15 days with a sprained AC joint, and Seattle apparently just had to have him back at less than 100 percent for their run at 70 wins.

Mariners activated SS Brendan Ryan from the 15-day disabled list. Ryan hasn't played since August 3 due to a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder. He returns to a .263/.322/.338 batting line to go along with two homers, 34 RBI and a .660 OPS over 406 plate appearances.

Mariners placed SS Brendan Ryan on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to August 4, with a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder. As expected. Ryan suffered the injury in a collision with teammate Adam Kennedy last Wednesday and will likely need 10-14 days before he is ready for game action. Jack Wilson will likely see most of the playing time at shortstop during his absence.

Brendan Ryan was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to left shoulder soreness. Jack Wilson will start at shortstop and bat second against the Angels. Ryan is hitting .263/.332/.338 this season and is currently listed as "day-to-day."

Brendan Ryan doubled and hit a grand slam in Seattle's 12-8 loss to the Red Sox on Sunday. The big afternoon increased Ryan's OPS from .647 to .666. Obviously still awful, but the owner of a .264 average and 32 RBI through his first 322 at-bats, he's not a horrendous AL-only league option.
