• Dodgers' River Ryan: Normal buildup in spring training

  11/19/2025 • By RotoWire

  Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said during the GM Meetings last week that Ryan (elbow) will go through a "normal" buildup during spring training, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. Ryan hasn't pitched since August 2024 Tommy John surgery, but he should have a relatively normal spring training since the righty will be 18 months removed from the operation by that point. The 27-year-old held a 1.33 ERA and 18:9 K:BB over 20.1 innings covering four starts for the Dodgers in 2024, but after a long layoff, he's likely to begin the 2026 season in the minors.

• Dodgers' River Ryan: Making progress in recovery

  05/11/2025 • By RotoWire

  Ryan (elbow) has resumed throwing off a mound but hasn't yet progressed to full bullpen sessions, per MLB.com. Ryan is making gradual progress from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last August. A return to the big-league roster near the end of the regular season is a possibility if Ryan continues to proceed without any setbacks, but it's not a guarantee that he'll pitch for the Dodgers this season given the nature of his procedure.

• 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.
