Ryan will likely be recalled from Triple-A Toledo to start Thursday in place of Alfredo Simon (personal), Anthony French of the Detroit Free Press reports. Ryan will need to make it from Louisville to Oakland in order to start Thursday, but assuming he can do that, he will make his second big league start. Ryan tossed six scoreless innings last year in his only other start with the Tigers, but his numbers with Toledo this season -- a 4.67 ERA and 31 strikeouts in 54 innings over nine starts -- are uninspiring.
