Hyun Jin Ryu Leaves Game With Right Glute Strain

By TC Zencka | April 25, 2021 at 10:30pm CDT

Blue Jays starter Hyun Jin Ryu left today’s game because of a minor right glute strain, the team announced. Toronto took the contest 1-0 from the Rays, but a potential Ryu injury looms larger for the Jays’ future. Their ace threw 3 2/3 scoreless before his departure today allowing three hits, one walk, zero runs, while striking out five. After the game, Ryu appeared confident that he would be ready to make his next start, per Gregor Chisholm of the Toronto Star (via Twitter).

Before today’s game, Ryu had done his part with a 3.00 ERA/3.22 FIP in four starts covering 24 innings. His 48.6 groundball rate is down a touch from his norm, but within range for a small sample. His strikeouts were down just a little as well to a 21.9 percent strikeout rate, while he had been particularly stingy with free passes (2.1 percent walk rate).

Ryu might be the most irreplaceable arm on a Toronto roster that’s dealt with its fair share of injuries, especially on the pitching side. Closer Kirby Yates, of course, was lost for the year, while both Julian Merryweather and Jordan Romano – two potential replacements late in games – have also spent time on the injured list. In the rotation, highly-touted prospect Nate Pearson has yet to make his season debut, and he’s been joined on the IL by Ross Stripling and T.J. Zeuch. Somewhat surprisingly, the Blue Jays have been kept afloat by Steven Matz, who is 4-0 in four starts with a 2.31 ERA/3.22 FIP.

      You tore your butt, son. There’s nothing
      to be ashamed of, okay? It happens.

      People tear their butts all the time
      in athletics. You’re not alone, man.

      Hey, Coach,
      you’ve torn your butt a few times, right?

    Thankfully, they have Steven Matz to anchor the top of the rotation. Who saw that coming?

    This sport has gone completely soft. We’ve got a guy making $36 million a year for the Angels missing three games with a bruise on his elbow and now Ryu literally hurt his bum and had to leave his start. Lol you can’t make this nonsense up.

        Back in the day, players would play through injuries. The showed that they were tough. They would make injuries worse, develop bad habits trying to compensate for the injury, develop new injuries. Players would have their careers prematurely cut short as a result. Glad players have training staffs in place to know what they should try playing and what the should be rested for.

      Speaking of bummer, Madison Bumgarner is three outs away from a kinda no-hitter. The Braves have one hit in the doubleheader,

      A seven-inning no-no won’t be officially counted as a no-hitter, which is ridiculous. Bumgarner would have pitched the total number of innings needed to record one. It would count as a CG and shutout.

    Ryu has literally pitched his butt off for this team. Same with the bullpen. They along with Matz have saved their season from being a disaster.

      Are you a Jays fan? I haven’t watched Matz yet this season. What seems to be the difference?

        I would’ve had to watch more Mets games to give you a definitive answer. He doesn’t miss spots like Ray and Kay. Danny Jansen has caught him and Ryu very well. Matz could’ve been battling injury in New York also.

        Different pitching philosophy mostly, along with someone new in his ear. Matz is only 4 starts in and about 24 IP so lets see how he is doing after 60 IP. But so far he has been amazing. Ray has been leaning extra heavy on his FB tho and still throwing too many pitches but he looks good aswell. Jays have 2nd best ERA in the show, who saw that coming

        I’m a Jays fan and Pete Walker, their pitching coach is the difference. He’s been making slight adjustments with Steven Matz and Robbie Ray. From what I’ve gathered, they’ve also been told they can be more aggressive in the zone and not to be too picky about completely painting corners.

    Come on guys this was 7 hours ago. It looked like an update, because it’s at the top of the app suddenly. it’s really just click bait. This is new with MLBTR, and is what’s wrong with most other sites. This needs to stop now.

          Lot’s of news or sports related sites/ blogs keep their top story at the top for a period of time. ( It is called a “feature” story.)

          Other sites most likely did the same for this story and thus would be picked up by ranking bots for search key words on search engines. More eyeballs= more Ad revenue.

          It is not like they have a false or misleading headline to entice you to read a story . This isn’t clickbait. Maybe you would prefer MLBTR go to a full membership model like the Athletic or others.

          The time (where it says 9 hours ago) is where it’s misleading, if the story is from earlier that day. If it’s a feature story then identify it as such. That’s fine. But when you update the time and put it on top, it wastes the user’s time for the purpose of gaining more clicks.

      That is remarkable considering all the injuries they’ve had. Glad they didn’t sign a certain someone for 45 million or trade for his now injured /non performing teammate.

      Going back and rereading the poll about who had the better pen padres/jays also sheds light on how knowledgeable some “Real” Jays fans really are.
