Ryan was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Ryan has had success in the majors this season, maintaining a 3.00 ERA with a 13:5 K:BB across 12 innings. He threw 1.2 scoreless frames Thursday against the Brewers, so this move is likely just a roster shuffle to get a fresh arm in the Pirates' bullpen in the short term. No corresponding move was announced.

Pirates' Ryder Ryan: Nabs Opening Day roster spot
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.

Mariners' Ryder Ryan: Loses 40-man spot
Rotowire
The Mariners outrighted Ryan to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday after he cleared waivers.
Ryan reached the big leagues for the first time in 2023 during his age-28 campaign, making a lone appearance out of the Seattle bullpen on Aug. 11 before being sent back to Tacoma less than a week later. The right-hander posted a solid 3.76 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 56:22 K:BB over a larger sample of 55 innings in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, but the Mariners felt his 40-man roster spot could be used better elsewhere.

Mariners' Ryder Ryan: Lands with Seattle
Rotowire
Ryan signed a minor-league contract with Seattle on Monday.
Ryan has spent the last two seasons at Triple-A Round Rock, where he posted a 4.49 ERA, 122:48 K:BB and 1.43 WHIP in 104.1 innings. It's possible he serves as a non-roster invitee this spring, but it seems likely that he'll at least spend most of the season in the minors.
