2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ryan would be a very buzzy prospect for 2025 had he not needed Tommy John surgery Aug. 25 after an impressive first few starts in the big-league rotation. A converted infielder who first started pitching professionally in 2022, Ryan has high-end stuff, boasting a 96-mph four-seamer, plus slider and plus curveball. He's behind on the finer points of pitching, and his surgery is set to cost him the entire 2025 season. It won't be until at least 2027 that he attempts to top his career-high 104.1 innings from 2023. When he returns to game action in 2026, he'll already be 27. Read Past Outlooks
Undergoes Tommy John surgery
Ryan (elbow) underwent successful Tommy John surgery Aug. 25, per MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
Ryan suffered a UCL strain in a start against Pittsburgh on Aug. 11. The right-hander has a small chance of returning to action late in 2025, but he'll more likely need to wait until 2026 to toe a major-league mound again.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Ryan came down with shoulder fatigue during spring training and is expected to arrive in Oklahoma City in late May or early June. A divisive dynasty prospect due to wide-ranging expert opinions, Ryan turns 26 in August and has only made two career starts at Triple-A, so he is already a bit behind his peers developmentally due to starting off his pro career as an infielder. He had a 3.80 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 110 strikeouts in 104.1 innings last year, primarily with Double-A Tulsa. Those highest on Ryan see several plus pitches and a high ceiling as a starter, while others project him to end up as a high-leverage reliever.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to start Monday?
Ryan could be an option to start Monday against the Giants, reports Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times.
ANALYSIS
A report from Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic prior to the All-Star break indicated Ryan would be called up early in the second half, and the Dodgers have yet to officially announce a starter for Monday's contest. The 25-year-old right-hander has pitched well in brief action for Triple-A Oklahoma City this year with a 2.76 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB over 16.1 innings after he missed the start of the campaign due to shoulder fatigue, and he may be on the cusp of his major-league debut.
