River Ryan Vying for Dodgers Rotation Spot After Surgery

After missing 2025 due to Tommy John surgery, River Ryan is competing for a spot in the Dodgers' rotation. He has impressed this spring, recording seven strikeouts and three walks in 5.2 innings while allowing only a solo home run. Sitting 96-98 mph with a plus slider, he is identified as a potential 2026 breakout player. Ryan is set to start for the Dodgers in their split-squad home game against the Texas Rangers on Sunday, March 15.
