Right-handed pitcher River Ryan makes his debut for the Detroit Tigers organization on Tuesday, September 8, starting for the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens against the Iowa Cubs in Des Moines. Ryan was activated from the 7-day injured list after recovering from a hamstring strain that had sidelined him since June. Acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers in the trade for Tarik Skubal, Ryan is currently ranked as the No. 4 prospect in the Tigers' system. The 28-year-old previously appeared in four games for the Dodgers during his major league debut in 2024. While the Tigers have not provided a specific timeline for a potential promotion, the team remains a possibility for Ryan to make an appearance before the conclusion of the regular season.
