Ryan is expected to join the Cubs in Chicago Thursday, where he'll undergo an intake screening and possibly be on the field by the end of the week, Steve Greenberg of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan has been delayed in arriving to camp by what the team is calling "protocol technicalities" around COVID-19 testing. The lefty has been able to maintain his throwing program while away from the club. Ryan turned in a 3.54 ERA across 61 innings for the Cubs last season, and the team is counting on him to be a key relief arm in 2020.
