The Cubs selected Ryan's contract from Triple-A Iowa on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Chicago cleared room for Ryan on the 40-man roster by designating Robert Stock for assignment. After being booted from the roster in May when he struggled in his first three appearances with the Cubs, Ryan righted the ship during his time at Iowa. Over 13 relief outings at Triple-A, Ryan posted a 1.93 ERA and 0.82 WHIP across 18.2 innings.

Ryan cleared waivers Tuesday and will join Triple-A Iowa, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty appeared in just three games for the Cubs, allowing one earned run in 2.2 innings pitched. Ryan was a very effective reliever in 2019 and may return to the big-league roster at some point if a spot opens up.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old was promoted Tuesday after a brief stint in the minors, and he lost his spot on the 40-man roster after giving up one run on two hits and a walk while not recording an out Wednesday. Kyle could remain in the organization if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Ryan was optioned off the Cubs' active roster Saturday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan was called up by the Cubs on Friday and allowed one hit and one walk while striking out one in two scoreless relief innings in the series opener against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

The Cubs need an extra arm in the bullpen, with Shelby Miller (back) landing on the injured list in a corresponding move. Ryan has been a serviceable option over his six big-league seasons, posting a 3.87 ERA, though he struggled to a 5.17 ERA in 15.2 innings last year.
