• Dodgers' River Ryan: Done for season

  08/11/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Dodgers placed Ryan on the 15-day injured list Sunday with right forearm tightness, and manager Dave Roberts said the rookie will miss the rest of the 2024 season, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. Ryan is undergoing an MRI on Sunday to determine the full extent of the forearm injury that he suffered in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Pirates, but the Dodgers have apparently seen enough to rule him out for the rest of the campaign. It's a tough break for the 25-year-old, who was called up for his big-league debut in late July and posted a 1.33 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 18:9 K:BB over 20.1 innings through his first four starts.

• Dodgers' River Ryan: IL stint necessary

  08/11/2024 • By RotoWire

  Ryan (forearm) will undergo an MRI on Sunday to discern the severity of his injury and will be placed on the injured list, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports. Ryan was removed from Saturday's start against the Pirates in the fifth inning due to forearm tightness, and the injury is more significant than initially expected. The 25-year-old has shined in limited playing time for the Dodgers, posting a 1.33 ERA with 19 strikeouts in 15.2 innings, but his impressive rookie campaign will be paused for an uncertain amount of time. Sunday's MRI should give fantasy managers a more accurate timeline for Ryan's absence.

• Dodgers' River Ryan: Lifted from start

  08/11/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Dodgers removed Ryan from Saturday's game against the Pirates due to right forearm tightness, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports. The Dodgers' training staff met Ryan on the mound in the middle of an at-bat in the fifth inning, and Ryan was ultimately removed from the contest due to pain in his right forearm. The 25-year-old threw 4.2 scoreless innings with four strikeouts and four hits allowed before exiting. Ryan should undergo further testing in the coming days, at which point the severity of the injury should be more clear.

• Dodgers' River Ryan: Decent in no-decision

  08/05/2024 • By RotoWire

  Ryan allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Sunday. Ryan yielded a two-run home run to Brent Rooker in the first inning and put traffic on the bases in three of the next four frames. After loading the bases with two outs in the fifth inning, Ryan was pulled at 75 pitches (48 strikes), and Evan Phillips escaped the jam. While it was the shortest of his three starts and the first time he's given up multiple runs, this wasn't necessarily a poor showing from Ryan. He has a 1.72 ERA despite a 1.28 WHIP and 14:9 K:BB over 15.2 innings. That walk rate is what portends the most trouble for him in the majors if he can't get it under control. Walker Buehler (hip) will require at least one more rehab start, so Ryan can tentatively be penciled in for a home start versus the Pirates next weekend.

• Dodgers' River Ryan: Strong in second start

  07/28/2024 • By RotoWire

  Ryan (1-0) allowed one run on two hits and three walks while striking out eight over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Astros on Sunday. Ryan was responsible for one run after Alex Vesia allowed a two-run home run to Yainer Diaz in the sixth inning. While he again walked three batters, Ryan has acclimated well to the majors so far through two starts, allowing just two runs (one earned) over 11 innings. Manager Dave Roberts told reporters after the game that Ryan will take his next turn through the rotation even though the Dodgers have two off days next week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. That means Ryan can be penciled in for a favorable road start at Oakland next weekend.
