TORONTO – The long-awaited return of Hyun-Jin Ryu to the Toronto Blue Jays’ rotation has been announced by manager John Schneider. Ryu will start against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday and will not have a pitch count limit, marking his first start in the majors since undergoing Tommy John surgery in June 2022. Schneider expressed his confidence in Ryu’s readiness, stating that he will throw off the mound one more time before the start. Ryu joined the Blue Jays as a free agent in December 2019 and had an impressive season in 2020, finishing third in voting for the American League Cy Young Award. His return is a significant development for the Blue Jays, who will switch to a six-man rotation for an important stretch of games. Ryu’s recovery from his second Tommy John surgery has been remarkable, and his dedication to his rehab is evident. This news comes as the Blue Jays are fighting for an AL wild-card berth alongside the Los Angeles Angels. Fellow pitcher Kevin Gausman expressed excitement about Ryu’s return, emphasizing his positive impact on the team. This report was first published on July 28, 2023, by The Canadian Press.
