The Los Angeles Dodgers will need to rely on their pitching depth early on in 2026, with Blake Snell and Gavin Stone already out for Opening Day.
One of the arms they will be looking at to step up is River Ryan, who MLB Pipeline ranks as their No. 6 overall prospect. The right-hander made his MLB debut in 2024 and showed a lot of promise before being shut down for the season due to injury after four starts.
Ryan was also inactive for the entire 2025 season as he recovered from Tommy John surgery.
He is back on the mound in 2026 and factors into the tremendous depth the Dodgers have in their rotation.
