TORONTO (AP) -B.J. Ryan is nearing a return to the Toronto Blue Jays, but not as the team’s closer.
General manager J.P. Ricciardi says the Blue Jays will continue to use Scott Downs in the ninth inning even after Ryan rejoins the club.
That could happen by the week’s end as the left-hander finishes up his rehabilitation from minor shoulder injury. Ricciardi said Tuesday that Ryan’s role will be determined.
Ryan is in the fourth season of a five-year deal worth $47 million.
The two-time All-Star has an 11.12 ERA in six games this season, with two saves in four chances.
