River Ryan Bounces Back, is He a Must-Stash Now?

Los Angeles Dodgers pitching prospect River Ryan bounced back nicely in his latest outing at Triple-A Oklahoma City after giving up four earned runs in his previous start. The Dodgers' sixth-ranked prospect allowed just one earned run on six hits and one walk while striking out seven in his last start, improving his ERA for the year to 2.81 with a 1.13 WHIP. The right-hander owns a strong 24.6 percent K-BB% and is averaging more than a strikeout per inning, exactly what fantasy managers want to see from a potential fantasy asset. The 27-year-old debuted in 2025 and saw some success, with a 1.33 ERA (3.36 FIP), 1.18 WHIP, and 18 strikeouts in 20 1/3 innings pitched, so with his current momentum, there's good reason to think that he'll have success the next time he gets the call. The Dodgers are currently using a six-man rotation and technically have no openings, but things change fast in the major leagues, either due to injury or underperformance, so Ryan should be considered one of the top pitchers to stash for fantasy with his ability to have a positive impact on multiple categories.

River Ryan a Must-Stash Prospect After Stellar Bounce-Back Effort?

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitching prospect River Ryan enjoyed a much-needed bounce-back effort at Triple-A Oklahoma City this past week. On Wednesday evening, Ryan tossed four innings of one-run ball while striking out seven hitters with only one free pass. This was a nice showing for the right-hander, who was coming off the worst outing of his young season, where he allowed a season-worst four runs and seven hits to Round Rock back on June 4. Ryan spent some time on the 7-day injured list earlier this season, but has since returned to Triple-A and has looked quite comfortable. Across 25 innings since returning from injury, Ryan has posted a 2.16 ERA with a 30:5 K:BB, with three of these walks coming in his worst showing. With both Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell on the IL on the MLB roster and starting pitcher Justin Wrobleski exiting early on Thursday night, Ryan has a clear path to return to the majors before the end of June, making him a prime stash target among pitchers.

River Ryan Looks to Bounce Back, Remains on Stash Radar for Now

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher River Ryan was humming along at Triple-A Oklahoma City before his last outing, posting a 2.05 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and an elite 29.5 percent K-BB% through his first five starts. In his latest start, though, the former 11th-round draft pick yielded four earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four. The walks were easily a season high after walking a total of three in the five previous contests, and four strikeouts tied a season low total. Although it took some shine off his stash status, everyone has a dud performance from time to time, and with a good 2.89 ERA still for the year, along with a 1.09 WHIP and a FIP that is actually lower (2.51), the arrow is still pointing up for Ryan. If the right-hander struggles in his next outing, which comes Wednesday night in Charlotte, then it may be time to reconsider stashing him, but for now, the 27-year-old is a worthwhile stash option in deeper leagues as he waits for an opening in the Dodgers' six-man rotation.

Is River Ryan Still a Top Stash Target Following Four-Run Showing?

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher River Ryan hit his first speedbump at the Triple-A level on Thursday evening. After enjoying a near-perfect stretch since returning from injury, the right-hander allowed a season-high four runs and six hits to Round Rock. In this contest, Ryan also served up a season-high three walks and only struck out four hitters. However, prior to this rough showing, Ryan was on the verge of returning to the majors, carrying an impressive 0.60 ERA, 0.60 WHIP, and a 19:1 K:BB over his last 15 frames since returning from his minor injury. Ryan made his MLB debut during the 2024 campaign and looked quite comfortable in his first stint, holding a 1.33 ERA over 20 1/3 innings. With several Dodger starters on the injured list, including Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow, Ryan continues to hold high-end stash upside, as his path to the big leagues remains very clear, despite his underwhelming showing on Thursday evening.

River Ryan Looks Ready for MLB, a Top Pitching Stash?

Los Angeles Dodgers pitching prospect River Ryan continues to deliver impressive results at Triple-A, and he could be ready to make his return to MLB sooner rather than later. Ryan, now 27, made his MLB debut in 2024, but he missed all of 2025 due to injury and opened 2026 in the minors. Through five starts (22 innings) at Triple-A this year, he owns a 2.05 ERA, 2.00 FIP, 11.86 K/9, 1.23 BB/9, and 0.00 HR/9. He's been successful at limiting weak contact with a 51.9% ground ball rate. He throws six different pitches, but his upper-90s fastball and tight slider are his two best offerings. He has a remarkable 19.2% hard-hit rate (96th percentile), as well as a 35.33% chase rate (91st percentile) and a 33.0% whiff rate (82nd percentile). The Dodgers have a stacked starting rotation as it stands, but once a spot opens up, Ryan should take the opportunity and run with it. He has tremendous upside once he does make his MLB debut, making him an intriguing fantasy stash in redraft leagues.

River Ryan on the Verge of MLB Promotion Following Eight-Strikeout Effort

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitching prospect River Ryan turned in another stellar effort at Triple-A Oklahoma City and is on the verge of joining the MLB roster. On Thursday evening, Ryan turned in his best showing of the campaign, tossing a season-high six frames with one run (unearned run) with only four hits, no walks, and a season-high eight punchouts. Since returning from the 7-day injured list, Ryan has made three starts and logged 15 innings with a 0.80 ERA, 0.60 WHIP, and a 19:1 K:BB. With both Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow on the injured list on the MLB roster, Ryan could provide some much-needed depth to this pitching staff. Given his current production and clear path to a role, Ryan should be viewed as the top pitching prospect to stash in all formats.

River Ryan on the Verge of Joining Dodgers Rotation?

Los Angeles Dodgers pitching prospect River Ryan recently returned from his injured stint at Triple-A and is quickly in the mix to join the MLB rotation. Ryan spent a month on the Triple-A injured list with a minor hamstring injury, but has looked sharp in his return. Over his last two outings with Oklahoma City, Ryan has logged nine innings with just one earned run, four hits, and a stellar 11:1 K:BB. Additionally, Ryan has seen his stash value skyrocket as of late, given that Blake Snell recently joined Tyler Glasnow on the MLB injured list, leaving a clear spot for Ryan to join the rotation. The 27-year-old made his MLB debut in 2024 and held his own, posting a 1.33 ERA over 20 1/3 innings, but did not take the mound in 2025 after undergoing an internal brace procedure. However, with his lengthy injury history behind him and a clear opening, Ryan carries elite stash upside in the short term, as he appears to be the clear next-best option for this pitching staff.

River Ryan Enters Must-Stash Status Following Seven-Strikeout Effort

Los Angeles Dodgers pitching prospect River Ryan is coming off his best showing at Triple-A and is now firmly in must-stash territory ahead of Week 9 of the fantasy baseball season. Given that Blake Snell recently joined Tyler Glasnow on the injured list, the MLB roster is in need of pitching depth. Even though Ryan missed nearly a month of action due to an injury at Triple-A, he has since returned to action and is showing high-end upside. He returned from the IL on May 15 and logged four innings of one-run ball with a 4:1 K:BB. However, on Thursday night, he looked far more comfortable, tossing five shutout frames with only two hits, no walks, and a season-high seven punchouts. He made his MLB debut in the 2024 season and looked quite comfortable, posting a 1.33 ERA over his first 20 1/3 innings. Given that the Dodgers lack much pitching depth, Ryan appears to be knocking on the big-league doorstep, making him an elite stash option in all standard leagues this weekend.

River Ryan a Must-Stash Candidate with Clear Path to Starting Role?

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitching prospect River Ryan has seen his stash value skyrocket over the past week. Not only has Ryan returned from a lengthy stint on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A, but he now has a clear path to a role on the MLB roster. Blake Snell recently joined Tyler Glasnow on the injured list, leaving a clear role for Ryan on the big-league roster. In his first start at Triple-A in nearly a month, the right-hander looked quite comfortable, logging four innings of one-run ball with two hits, one walk, and four punchouts. He made his MLB debut during the 2024 campaign and posted a stellar 1.33 ERA over 20 1/3 innings. However, after undergoing Tommy John surgery, Ryan was on the shelf for the entirety of the 2025 season. With him back to full strength and two open spots in the rotation, Ryan has quickly entered must-stash territory in all standard leagues, as a return to Los Angeles could come in the immediate future.

River Ryan Emerging as Must-Stash Pitcher Ahead of Potential Call-Up?

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher River Ryan (hamstring) threw 53 pitches in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Oklahoma City, allowing two hits, an earned run, and a walk while striking out four across four innings of work. The 27-year-old opened the year in Triple-A while recovering from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent in August 2024 and caused him to miss the entire 2025 season. However, he suffered a hamstring injury on April 11 that caused him to miss more than a month. Ryan will likely need more time in the minor leagues as he continues to be built up to a full starter's workload. Still, the Dodgers now have a hole in their big-league rotation after the news that left-hander Blake Snell (elbow) is being placed on the injured list due to loose bodies in his elbow. Ryan pitched to a 1.33 ERA across a small sample size of 20 1/3 innings (four starts) after making his MLB debut in 2024. Given his upside and the opportunity in the Dodgers' pitching staff, Ryan could be worth stashing off the waiver wire for fantasy managers.
