Ryan (1-2) needed 94 pitches just to get through four innings Thursday in a loss to the Pirates, giving up two runs on three hits and five walks while striking out four. Frankly, Ryan was fortunate to escape with just the two runs in such an inefficient outing. The results have simply not been there for Ryan, who's proven untrustworthy in nearly any fantasy format, but the Tigers have a lack of back-of-the-rotation options to replace him. With a hugely inflated 1.45 WHIP that promises more bad times to come, he's as risky a roll as you'll find in fantasy right now. On the bright side, his next start is scheduled to come in pitcher-friendly Seattle on Tuesday.
