Ryu (forearm) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Saturday's start against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Ryu dealt with forearm inflammation since mid-April, but he'll return to the Blue Jays after missing just under a month. He tossed 74 pitches over four innings during his rehab start at Triple-A Buffalo last Saturday, so it's possible he'll be on a pitch count during his return to action against Tampa Bay.

Ryu (forearm) will be activated from the 10-day injured list and start Saturday's game at Tampa Bay, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran left-hander has been sidelined since forearm inflammation cropped up during his second start of the season April 16, but he'll rejoin Toronto's starting rotation Saturday. Ryu made one rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo and threw 74 pitches over four innings, so he could have some minor workload limitations in his first outing back from the injured list.

Ryu (forearm) is on track to start Saturday against the Rays, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ryu was originally expected to miss just two or three starts with left forearm inflammation, but a Saturday return would mean he'd wind up missing just shy of a month. He struggled significantly in his first two outings prior to the injury, giving up 11 runs in 7.1 innings, but will look to get back on track now that the injury is behind him.

Ryu (forearm) may be ready to return from the 10-day injured list to start Saturday at Tampa Bay, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though he's been on the shelf since April 17 with left forearm inflammation, Ryu looks like he could be cleared to come off the IL after just one rehab start in the minors. He reported to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday and covered four innings (74 pitches) in his start, striking out six while giving up two runs on five hits and no walks. The Blue Jays will likely see how he fares during a bullpen session Monday or Tuesday before deciding if his next start will be at the big-league level or at Triple-A.

Ryu (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ryu tossed three innings during a simulated game over the weekend, and his advance to a rehab assignment will likely serve as the final step in his recovery process. Manager Charlie Montoyo is optimistic that the southpaw will just need a brief rehab stint, so it's possible he'll be able to rejoin the Blue Jays following one or two outings with the minor-league club.

Ryu (forearm) threw three innings during a simulated game Saturday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ryu looked healthy during Saturday's throwing session, so manager Charlie Montoyo is optimistic that the southpaw will begin a brief rehab assignment sometime next week. He'll presumably miss at least one more turn through the rotation, but Ryu appears likely to rejoin the Blue Jays sometime in May.

Ryu (forearm) is scheduled to throw live batting practice Saturday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ryu completed a bullpen session Tuesday and will progress to facing live hitters this weekend, which could be one of the final hurdles of his recovery program. Depending on his workload Saturday, the veteran left-hander could require another live BP or a minor-league rehab start before returning from the 10-day injured list.

Ryu (forearm) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ryu continues to work his way back from left forearm inflammation, an issue which was originally expected to cost him just two or three starts. He's already missed two turns in the rotation and will miss at least one more, as he's still expected to advance to live batting practice at some point this week before returning to game action.

Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said Ryu (forearm) is scheduled to throw a live batting practice session later this week, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ryu has been gradually increasing his throwing distance off flat ground since landing on the injured list April 17, and he'll presumably be in line to toss a bullpen session in the next day or two before advancing to live batting practice. If Ryu's inflamed left forearm checks out fine once he faces hitters, the Blue Jays will decide whether to have him throw another live batting practice session or simulated game or send him out on a brief minor-league rehab assignment beforehand. Ross Stripling will continue to fill in as a member of the Toronto rotation while Ryu is on the shelf, likely for another two weeks or so.

Ryu (forearm) has ramped up his throwing program, increasing his intensity and throwing from 120 feet, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ryu made just two poor starts before landing on the injured list with forearm inflammation. Previous reports indicated he could miss just two or three starts. The fact that he's ramping up his intensity within a week of hitting the injured list suggests that's possible, but his timeline could be extended if he needs a rehab start.
