2026 Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Ryan had Tommy John surgery Aug. 25, 2024, and he will reportedly have a normal buildup during 2026 spring training. A former position player, Ryan is now 27 and has just four career big-league starts, but his ceiling is higher than the typical righty his age with no MLB track record. He throws five pitches, headlined by a pair of plus breaking balls and pair of mid-90s fastballs. Ryan had a 61.1 percent groundball rate in 24.1 minor-league innings in 2024 and a 50 percent groundball rate in 20.1 innings in the majors, and he may rely more on generating weak contact than racking up big strikeout totals. There's a chance he eventually settles in as an over-qualified reliever, given the Dodgers' perpetual pitching depth, but Ryan's ceiling is too high for them to pull the plug on him as a starter just yet. He'll almost certainly open the year in the Triple-A rotation, potentially getting slow-played early in the year so that he's an option to make starts in the majors as needed during the summer months.
