SEATTLE -- Kyle Ryan's third straight early exit Tuesday led to an early flight back east Wednesday, when he was optioned back to Triple-A Toledo. He'll find another former Tigers lefty when he gets there.
Though the Tigers designated Tom Gorzelanny in their bullpen shakeup on Friday, they saw enough potential in his sidearm delivery experiment that they wanted him to keep working on it at Toledo. He accepted the assignment Wednesday after clearing waivers.
