Tarik Skubal Trade Piece, Top Prospect to Make Tigers Debut
The Detroit Tigers will call up right-handed pitcher River Ryan for his debut with the big league club in Monday's game.
Detroit Tigers bring back right-handed pitcher River Ryan for his MLB debut on Monday against the Washington Nationals. One of the key players in the trade that sent Skubal to the Dodgers, Ryan has been recuperating from a hamstring injury and made two appearances in Triple-A, posting a 3.86 ERA in 4.2 innings. Prior to the trade, Ryan had pitched for the Comets, allowing 18 earned runs in 36.1 innings, and striking out 43 batters in eight games.
Although he made four appearances with the Dodgers in 2024, he underwent Tommy John surgery and missed the entire 2025 season. Now healthy, Ryan looks forward to his first appearance in MLB since 2024, aiming to maintain control against a strong offense like the Nationals, who are currently the sixth-best in MLB with the third-most runs.
