The return date is undecided… Two matches this season
Ryu Hyun-jin (35, Toronto Blue Jays), who complained of arm pain after his second start this season, was eventually placed on the injured list. His return date has not yet been determined.
On the 18th (Korean time), the Toronto Major League Baseball (MLB) official site, MLB.com, announced that Toronto had placed left-handed pitcher Hyun-jin Ryu on the 10-day injured list.
MLB.com said, “Hyunjin Ryu complained of pain in his left forearm after Toronto lost to the Oakland Athletics the day before. He underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and was moved to the injured list.
He added, “I am concerned that Hyun-Jin Ryu has shown unstable control and speed in two appearances this season.”
Ryu Hyun-jin recorded 6 hits (1 homer) and 5 runs in 4 innings in the 2022 MLB game against Oakland at the Rogers Center in Ontario, Canada, the home stadium of Toronto the day before. He was sacked early in the match with the team losing 2-5 after failing to complete the 5th inning. In the first game of the season on the 11th, Ryu Hyun-jin threw only three and one-third innings, recording five hits (one home run) and six earned runs.
Ryu Hyun-jin’s best four-seam fastball speed the day before was 90.2 mph (about 145.2 km), and his average speed was 88.7 mph (about 142.7 km). This is down from his top speed of 91.5 mph (about 147.3 km) and his average speed of 90.1 mph (about 145 km) recorded during his first ascent. He also allowed hits in a row as his control was shaken from the 2nd inning the day before. He was extra long in 4 of his 6 hits (1 homer, 3 doubles).
Ryu Hyun-jin started in two games this season and started off poorly with a 13.50 ERA without winning or losing.
