Kyle Hendricks went an inning versus Washington Saturday. He would hold them scoreless and earn his first save of the season.

Ryan has a chance now that the three main bullpen arms have been traded. It remains to be seen if he will get the majority of the save opportunities going forward.

Kyle Ryan allowed one hit across a scoreless 2/3 innings to earn the save in Tuesday’s 5-4 win over the Royals.

Ryan retired the final two batters to earn his first save of the season. Craig Kimbrel entered the game in the ninth, but allowed two hits and retired one batter before exiting. The Cubs turned to Ryan to convert the save. He could see more save opportunities, but will most likely be in a committee with Jeremy Jeffress and Rowan Wick. Ryan is worth stashing in deep-league formats.

Yeah, I continue to get feedback from Kyle daily. Right now, he looks good to go." The 28-year-old owned a 3.54 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and a 58:29 K:BB across 73 games for the Indians in 2019.

Fantasy Impact

The Tigers finally get a decent performance from a starter and they fail to score a run. Still, the Detroit offense is normally pretty good, so if Ryan turns in another performance like this he could be in good position for a win. His next start will probably come against the Twins on Saturday.
