The Tigers acquired Ryan, Zyhir Hope and Brady Smith from the Dodgers on Saturday in exchange for Tarik Skubal, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
The Tigers are acquiring a significant prospect haul in Ryan, Hope and Smith in order to send their southpaw ace to the two-time defending World Series champions. Ryan made his major-league debut for the Dodgers in 2025 but did not crack the team's Opening Day roster in 2026. He's spent the entire year in Triple-A, where he's posted a 4.46 ERA and 1.30 WHIP across 36.1 innings in between multiple IL stints due to hamstring issues. The right-hander last pitched June 17, and while there's no clear date for his return, he could get plugged right into Detroit's big-league rotation once he's activated.
