Rotowire
The Pirates are expected to select Ryan's contract ahead of Thursday's season opener versus the Marlins, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
While attending camp as a non-roster invitee, Ryan earned his way into the Bucs' Opening Day bullpen after striking out 10 and allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and four walks over 7.2 innings in Grapefruit League play. The 28-year-old right-hander will likely be ticketed for low-leverage work out of the bullpen to begin the season.

Pirates' Ryder Ryan: Lands with Bucs
Rotowire
Ryan agreed Monday with the Pirates on a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to major-league spring training, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
The 28-year-old reached the big leagues for the first time with Seattle in 2023, making just one relief appearance in August before he was cast off the 40-man roster following the season. Over a larger sample of 55 innings at Triple-A Tacoma last season, Ryan held his own in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, compiling a 3.76 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 56:22 K:BB. The right-hander will get a chance to compete for a spot in the Pirates' Opening Day bullpen but will likely be tasked with a lower-leverage role if he manages to secure a roster berth.
