• Dodgers' River Ryan: Penciled in for Sunday start

  Rotowire Jul 26, 2024

  Ryan will start Sunday's game against the Astros, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports. Ryan will make his second career start after allowing an unearned run in 5.1 innings against the Giants in his debut Monday. With Tyler Glasnow and Clayton Kershaw now healthy, it was unclear if Ryan would stick around for another start, but he'll compete with Justin Wrobleski to remain the fifth starter once Walker Buehler (hip) returns.

• Dodgers' River Ryan: Fares well in debut

  Rotowire Jul 23, 2024

  Ryan allowed an unearned run on four hits and three walks while striking out two over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Monday. A passed ball led to the only run on Ryan's line, as he made a pretty good first impression in the majors. He threw just 42 of 73 pitches for strikes however, and the three walks were a concern since he's displayed control issues throughout his minor-league career. It's unclear if the rookie right-hander will remain in the rotation, as the Dodgers are getting Tyler Glasnow (back) and Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) back soon. With two off days next week, it's unlikely the team goes with a six-man rotation for an extended period of time, so it may come down to Ryan or Justin Wrobleski for one spot until Walker Buehler (hip) is also ready to rejoin the team.

• Dodgers' River Ryan: Added to roster ahead of debut

  Rotowire Jul 22, 2024

  The Dodgers selected Ryan's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday. Ryan is expected to start Monday against the Giants in what will be his MLB debut. The 25-year-old right-hander missed the first two months of the minor-league season while battling shoulder fatigue but has looked sharp during his brief time with Oklahoma City, collecting a 2.76 ERA and 19:6 K:BB over 16.1 innings. Ryan could pitch again this weekend in Houston if the Dodgers elect to maintain a six-man rotation, but it could depend on how he fares Monday.

• Dodgers' River Ryan: Set to get call-up after break

  Rotowire Jul 14, 2024

  The Dodgers are planning to call Ryan up from Triple-A Oklahoma City following the All-Star break, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. The banged-up Dodgers closed their first-half schedule with just four healthy starting pitchers (James Paxton, Gavin Stone, Landon Knack and Justin Wrobleski), so Ryan will be summoned from Triple-A to provide some needed reinforcement. Tyler Glasnow (back) is eligible to come off the injured list as soon as July 21, and Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) might be ready for activation the following week, but Ryan could end up sticking around with the Dodgers as part of a five- or six-man rotation if he shows well in his first taste of the big leagues. The Dodgers haven't yet decided whether Ryan will start in the team's first series coming out of the break next weekend versus the Red Sox, or if he'll be saved for the four-game series against the Giants that begins July 22. A 25-year-old righty, Ryan missed the first two months of the minor-league season while battling shoulder fatigue but has looked good since joining Oklahoma City in mid-June, turning in a 2.76 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB over 16.1 innings spanning five starts.

  Ryan (shoulder) is slated to start for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Alex Freedman reports.

• Dodgers' River Ryan: Kicks off rehab assignment in ACL

  Rotowire Jun 5, 2024

  Ryan (shoulder) began a rehab assignment Monday in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, striking out five and allowing no hits and one walk over two scoreless innings. Ryan's appearance marked his 2024 debut after Triple-A Oklahoma City placed him on its 60-day injured list after he had battled right shoulder fatigue coming out of spring training. The right-hander will likely require multiple outings in the lower levels of the minors to get stretched back out before he slots into the Oklahoma City rotation.

• Dodgers' River Ryan: Out multiple months

  Rotowire Apr 9, 2024

  Ryan is on the 60-day injured list with Triple-A Oklahoma City due to shoulder fatigue, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports. According to Callis, Ryan came down with shoulder fatigue during spring training and is expected to arrive in Oklahoma City in late May or early June. A divisive dynasty prospect due to wide-ranging expert opinions, Ryan turns 26 in August and has only made two career starts at Triple-A, so he is already a bit behind his peers developmentally due to starting off his pro career as an infielder. He had a 3.80 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 110 strikeouts in 104.1 innings last year, primarily with Double-A Tulsa. Those highest on Ryan see several plus pitches and a high ceiling as a starter, while others project him to end up as a high-leverage reliever.
