Atkins added that Ryu "could be facing hitters and be in games" next month, though even if that comes to fruition, the veteran left-hander would likely be in store for a lengthy minor-league rehab assignment before making his 2023 debut with Toronto. Ryu had Tommy John surgery last June and is aiming to return from the 60-day injured list around the All-Star break.
