Outrighted: Farmer, Ryan

By Connor Byrne | May 11, 2021 at 10:03pm CDT

The latest outrights from around the majors…

  • The Tigers have outrighted reliever Buck Farmer to Triple-A Toledo, per Chris McCosky of the Detroit News. The team designated the right-hander for assignment last week, but he cleared waivers and will stay with the organization. Farmer had the best two-year run of his major league career from 2019-20 – an 89-inning stretch in which he logged a 3.74 ERA with a 23.1 percent strikeout rate, a 7.7 percent walk rate and a 48.6 percent groundball rate. But this season has been a nightmare for Farmer, whom hitters have lit up for 13 earned runs on 12 hits – including a whopping eight home runs – in 9 2/3 innings. The 30-year-old also put up almost as many walks (eight) as strikeouts (10) before the Tigers demoted him.
  • The Cubs have outrighted left-hander Kyle Ryan, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune was among those to report. Ryan has been added to Triple-A Iowa’s roster, Tommy Birch of the Des Moines Register tweets. Although Ryan led Cubs relievers with 76 2/3 innings from 2019-20, he opened this season at their alternate site after a stint on the COVID-19 list delayed him in spring training. The Cubs called up the 29-year-old in late April, and he went on to pitch 2 2/3 innings of one-run ball with five hits allowed, two walks and two strikeouts prior to his designation. Overall as a Cub, Ryan has notched a 3.86 ERA in 79 1/3 frames with a stellar 55.7 percent groundball rate but less inspiring strikeout and walk percentages of 20.8 and 10.9, respectively.

    Ryan is a lefty – throws 88-89 and has to have perfect mechanics to be effective. When in tune is a serviceable lefty. Would rather see Cubs sign Oliver Perez.

    8 homers allowed in less than 10 innings??? That’s… wow… I don’t have the right word for that.

      I was confused for a minute, I thought they were trying to be fancy and type his last name first.
