Ryan will be available out of the bullpen this week, MLive Media Group's James Schmehl reports. Ryan was effective in his second career start, holding the White Sox to two runs over seven innings Friday night. He never figured to stick in the rotation for long, as Justin Verlander (triceps) is scheduled to make his 2015 debut Saturday against the Indians. If the Tigers eventually need a spot starter or injury replacement, Ryan will likely be one of the top options. Until then, the lefty figures to occupy a long/middle-relief role.
