Hyun Jin Ryu News
Toronto Blue Jays southpaw Hyun Jin Ryu is ready for his next start, which will come on Wednesday against the Oakland Athletics. The veteran arm has been lights out since making his season debut on August 1, posting a 2.48 ERA and 1.03 WHIP with 23 strikeouts and a 3-1 record across 29 innings of work. Still, Ryu's fantasy value is limited in standard formats with the low strikeout numbers and he can be kept on the waiver wire for most of his starts in shallow leagues. The A's are one of the worst teams in baseball offensively, though, so fantasy owners should start Ryu wherever they can.
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Hyun Jin Ryu (knee) completed a successful throwing session on Friday and will start in Sunday's series finale against the Chicago Cubs. Ryu was hit on the knee by a comebacker in Monday's start so there was some concern that he wouldn't be available for his next turn. The 36-year-old lefty has a 4.00 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 5:2 K/BB ratio over nine innings (two starts) so far this year.
Toronto Blue Jays left-hander Hyun Jin Ryu (knee) is scheduled to make his next start on Sunday against the Chicago Cubs. Ryu won't be forced to skip a start after leaving his last outing early on Monday against the Cleveland Guardians when he was hit on the right knee by a comebacker. Fortunately, X-rays came back negative, and the 36-year-old southpaw is feeling good enough to take his next turn in the starting rotation. Ryu has only made two starts for Toronto this year after making a return from Tommy John surgery. In his two starts, he's allowed four earned runs on nine hits while walking two and striking out five in nine innings. He'll continue to be an option for fantasy managers in deep-mixed leagues the rest of the season, but he has a tricky matchup on Sunday against Chicago.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu was one of the few constants in a world of uncertainty in 2020. The $80 million free agent signing was exactly what Toronto needed as he led the team in starts (12), innings (67), wins (five), and strikeouts (72). Ryu's success predates the pandemic-shortened season, however. Dating back to 2018 with the Dodgers, Ryu has a 2.30 ERA supported by a 3.06 FIP across a 332 inning sample. Ryu keeps hitters off balance with an expanded arsenal, throwing all five of his pitches at least 10 percent of the time with a 17 MPH difference between his fastball and off-speed pitches. As a result, he's one of the elite pitchers in avoiding hard contact. His 3.2 percent barrel rate last season was among the best in the game and his 86.6 MPH average exit velocity over the last three years is in the top eighth percentile in baseball. Ryu isn't a strikeout artist, he has just a 22.3 percent career K-rate, but he'll put up solid ratios and pitch plenty of innings as the ace of the Blue Jays. He's a solid second-starter for fantasy and is fair value around pick 75 in fantasy drafts.
