MILWAUKEE —
The Dodgers announced on Tuesday that River Ryan will undergo Tommy John surgery, a procedure that will likely sideline the promising young right-hander for the entire 2025 season.
Ryan, 25, had a 1.33 ERA and 18 strikeouts in 20 u2153 innings of four major league starts this season and, according to manager Dave Roberts, was “making a case” to be part of the team’s pitching plans down the stretch with his high-velocity fastball and swing-and-miss slider/curveball combination.
But Ryan was pulled in the fifth inning of Saturday’s 4-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates in Dodger Stadium with an elbow injury that was later diagnosed as ulnar collateral ligament strain.
