EDGE Analysis

While the MLB lockout remains in place, Ryu will continue training with his former KBO club in his home country. He spent less than a week in quarantine after he experienced only minor symptoms of the virus following his initial positive test last Thursday. The 34-year-old lefty will be looking to bounce back during his third season in Toronto in 2022 after he posted a 4.37 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 7.6 K/9 across 169 frames last season.

Ryu tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While the MLB lockout remains ongoing, Ryu has been training overseas with the Korea Baseball Organization's Hanwha Eagles, the team with which he began his career in 2006 before he moved stateside ahead of the 2013 season. Ryu is reportedly experiencing only minor symptoms of the virus, so he should make a full recovery and rejoin the Blue Jays ahead of spring training, whenever that might be held.

Ryu is participating in spring training with the Hanwha Eagles of the KBO in the midst of the MLB lockout and completed his first bullpen session Sunday, Daniel Kim of MBC Sports+ reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ryu will remain in his home country of South Korea with no end to the lockout in sight, and he'll continue his preparation for the season with the Eagles. The 34-year-old had a 4.37 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 143:37 K:BB across 169 innings last season and will look to rebound for the Blue Jays in 2022.

Ryu (14-10) allowed two runs on six hits and a walk over five innings Sunday, striking out seven and earning a win over Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Ryu coughed up a solo homer to Tyler Nevin in the third inning and later allowed another run on a groundout by Ryan Mountcastle in the fifth. It was his longest outing since Sep. 6 after he was crushed for 15 runs in 8.2 innings over his last three appearances. The veteran southpaw recorded a 4.37 ERA and a143:37 K:BB through 169 innings this season.

Ryu (13-10) was charged with the loss Tuesday against the Yankees after surrendering three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three across 4.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Ryu was activated from the injured list ahead of Tuesday's start after missing one turn in the rotation with a minor neck strain. The southpaw gave up a solo homer to Aaron Judge in the third frame, then ran into more trouble in the fifth, when he allowed an RBI single to Anthony Rizzo, who would be his final batter of the night. Ryu has seen his share of struggles in the latter half of the season but will look to get back on track during his next projected start at home Sunday against Baltimore. Across 30 appearances, the 34-year-old has put together a 4.39 ERA and 1.22 WHIP.

Ryu (neck) was activated from the injured list as expected ahead of his scheduled start Tuesday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Ryu will wind up missing just a single turn in the rotation due to a neck strain, an issue which was seemingly a minor one. The trip to the injured list may have been as much about clearing his head as anything, as the lefty owns an 8.10 ERA over his last eight starts and was particularly poor in his last two, giving up a combined 12 runs in just 4.1 innings of work. The Blue Jays will need Ryu to be at his best Tuesday, as they trail the Yankees by two games for the first wild-card spot and trail the Red Sox by one game for the second.

Ryu (neck) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list and start Tuesday versus the Yankees, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Charlie Montoyo is confident the verteran will make his return Tuesday as the Blue Jays chase an AL Wild Card spot. The 34-year-old last pitched Sept. 17 against the Twins, surrendering five runs in two innings pitched. Over his last five starts, he has struggled to a 10.07 ERA in 19.2 innings.

Ryu was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a neck strain, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ryu apparently had the injury crop up when he woke up Saturday morning following his start Friday, and the Blue Jays hope he'll miss only one start. The veteran left-hander will be eligible to return for the Sept. 28 matchup with the Yankees. Ross Stripling is a likely candidate to fill in as a spot starter for Toronto.

Ryu (13-9) allowed five runs on five hits and a walk with two strikeouts in two innings, taking the loss Friday versus Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw ran into trouble in the third inning, and he exited after allowing back-to-back home runs to Jorge Polanco and Josh Donaldson. Ryu has allowed 12 runs in his last 4.1 innings across two starts. He left a Sept. 6 start versus the Yankees with forearm soreness, but he's been able to take his regular turn through the rotation despite the recent ineffectiveness. After the game, Ryu said he felt "physically fine" but added that he hasn't had the best control, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. Ryu takes a 4.34 ERA and 1.21 WHIP into next week's projected start in Tampa Bay.

Ryu allowed seven runs on eight hits and a walk with four strikeouts in a no-decision in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader versus Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw didn't have to miss time after experience forearm soreness after his last start, but he wasn't very effective Saturday. Ryu avoided the loss as Toronto's offense rallied ahead in the seventh inning. He's allowed seven runs in three of his last seven starts, which has inflated his ERA to 4.11 with a 1.19 WHIP and 131:34 K:BB in 157.2 innings this year. Ryu projects for a home start versus Minnesota during next weekend's three-game series.
