Ryu allowed three runs on four hits over three innings in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers. He struck out two without walking a batter.

EDGE Analysis

Seeing his first game action of the spring, Ryu gave up two extra-base hits, including a solo shot by Akil Baddoo in the first inning. It's not an auspicious start to the spring for the 35-year-old left-hander, who posted a 4.37 ERA in 2021 -- the worst mark of his MLB career over a full season -- but the additions of Kevin Gausman in the offseason and Jose Berrios at last year's trade deadline, as well as the emergence of Alek Manoah, take a lot of pressure off Ryu to be anything close to an ace for Toronto.
