Ryan Ward Makes Impactful Major League Debut

After a seven-year wait in the minor leagues, 28-year-old prospect Ryan Ward earned his first major league call-up following Freddie Freeman's move to the paternity list. Ward made an immediate impression in his debut, recording two hits in the Dodgers' 9-6 loss to the Rockies. His promotion is the culmination of a long journey through the organization, and he is expected to play a role for the big league club during his current stint.
