Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
River Ryan, a 27-year-old right-handed pitcher in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization, is scheduled to return to action Friday for Triple-A Oklahoma City after missing more than a month with a hamstring injury. Ryan was a standout in spring training 2026 and was sent down to the minors before Opening Day. He missed all of 2025 recovering from Tommy John surgery but showed impressive form in 2024 with the Dodgers (1.33 ERA, 18 strikeouts in 20.1 innings over 4 starts). His current Triple-A stint has been limited due to injury management, with 2 starts and a 5.14 ERA over 7 innings. The Dodgers are carefully managing his workload and view him as a potential mid-season call-up to strengthen their pitching staff.
