Blue Jays: Impact of the 2020 season may be catching up to Hyun Jin Ryu

One of the most popular questions in Blue Jays social media circles last night was wondering just what might be wrong with Hyun Jin Ryu.

It’s been a very difficult stretch for the 34 year old of late, and last night didn’t help to change his recent fortunes. Ryu lasted just 2.0 innings against the Twins, allowing five earned runs on five hits and a walk and leaving manager Charlie Montoyo with no choice but to remove him in the third inning.

If this had been an isolated tough outing for the Korean southpaw then maybe Montoyo would have given him a longer leash to figure things out.
