The Dodgers’ plan to promote River Ryan to their major league pitching staff has gained some clarity.
Ryan pitched four innings in an Arizona Complex League game on Tuesday and allowed one run, four hits and one walk. He struck out five of the 16 batters he faced.
The Dodgers wouldn’t intend for a Triple-A pitcher to linger on the lowest rung of their minor league ladder for long. Fabian Ardaya of the Athletic reported Sunday that the Dodgers plan to promote Ryan after the All-Star break, which ends Thursday. So when will we see the 25-year-old right-hander in a Los Angeles uniform?
