Ryu has been limited to 27 innings pitched over six outings this season and has mostly struggled, posting a 5.33 ERA and 1.29 WHIP. He was first placed on the 10-day injured list with left forearm inflammation on April 17 and was activated on May 14.

A 2019 All-Star with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Ryu is in his third season with the Blue Jays. Ryu went 14-10 in 2021, but his 4.37 ERA was a career high.

In 175 career regular-season games, he has a 75-45 record with a 3.26 ERA and 1.17 WHIP.
