Moved to 60-day IL Ryan (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday.

Impact It's already been determined that Ryan will miss the remainder of this season and likely most if not all of 2025 while on the mend from Tommy John surgery, so this move is simply to open up a spot on the 40-man roster following the return of Max Muncy (oblique) from the 60-day IL.

Dealing with UCL injury Ryan (forearm) is dealing with a UCL strain in his right arm, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Ryan was ruled out for the remainder of the 2024 campaign Sunday with what was originally described as right forearm tightness. Manager Dave Roberts provided an update Sunday evening, detailing that it is a UCL injury for the right-hander. The next steps are still to be determined for Ryan, but it's a disappointing turn of events for him after posting an impressive 1.33 ERA with 18 strikeouts over 20.1 innings in four starts with Los Angeles since July 22.

Impact Ryan is undergoing an MRI on Sunday to determine the full severity of the elbow injury, but the Dodgers have apparently seen enough to rule him out for the rest of the campaign. It's a tough break for the 25-year-old, who was called up for his big-league debut in late July and posted a 1.33 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 18:9 K:BB over 20.1 innings through is first four starts.

IL stint necessary Ryan (forearm) will undergo an MRI on Sunday to discern the severity of his injury and will be placed on the injured list, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Ryan was removed from Saturday's start against the Pirates in the fifth inning due to forearm tightness and the injury is more significant than initially expected. The 25-year-old has shined in limited playing time for the Dodgers, landing a 1.33 ERA with 19 strikeouts in 15.2 innings, but his impressive rookie campaign will be paused for an uncertain amount of time. Sunday's MRI should give fantasy managers a more accurate timeline of Ryan's absence.

Lifted from start The Dodgers removed Ryan from Saturday's game against the Pirates due to right forearm tightness, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact The Dodgers' training staff met Ryan on the mound in the middle of an at-bat in the fifth inning, and Ryan was ultimately removed from the contest due to pain in his right forearm. The 25-year-old threw 4.2 scoreless innings with four strikeouts and four hits allowed before exiting. Ryan should undergo further testing in the coming days, at which point the severity of the injury should be more clear.

Lifted from start The Dodgers removed Ryan from Saturday's game against the Pirates with an undisclosed injury, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact The Dodgers' training staff met Ryan on the mound in the middle of an at-bat in the fifth inning and Ryan was seen shaking his throwing hand after his final pitch. The 25-year-old threw 4.2 scoreless innings with four strikeouts and four hits allowed before exiting. We should know more about Ryan's status post-game.

Decent in no-decision Ryan allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Sunday.

Impact Ryan yielded a two-run home run to Brent Rooker in the first inning and put traffic on the bases in three of the next four frames. After loading the bases with two outs in the fifth inning, Ryan was pulled at 75 pitches (48 strikes), and Evan Phillips escaped the jam. While it was the shortest of his three starts and the first time he's given up multiple runs, this wasn't necessarily a poor showing from Ryan. He has a 1.72 ERA despite a 1.28 WHIP and 14:9 K:BB over 15.2 innings. That walk rate is what portends the most trouble for him in the majors if he can't get it under control. Walker Buehler (hip) will require at least one more rehab start, so Ryan can tentatively be penciled in for a home start versus the Pirates next weekend.

AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE

Strong in second start Ryan (1-0) allowed one run on two hits and three walks while striking out eight over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Astros on Sunday.

Impact Ryan was responsible for one run after Alex Vesia allowed a two-run home run to Yainer Diaz in the sixth inning. While he again walked three batters, Ryan has acclimated well to the majors so far through two starts, allowing just two runs (one earned) over 11 innings. Manager Dave Roberts told reporters after the game that Ryan will take his next turn through the rotation even though the Dodgers have two off days next week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. That means Ryan can be penciled in for a favorable road start at Oakland next weekend.

Penciled in for Sunday start Ryan will start Sunday's game against the Astros, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Ryan will make his second career start Sunday after allowing an unearned run in 5.1 innings against the Giants in his debut. With Tyler Glasnow and Clayton Kershaw now healthy, it was unclear if Ryan would stick around for another start. If he shows well, Ryan could beat out Just Wrobleski for the fifth starter spot once Walker Buehler (hip) is activated.

Penciled in for Sunday start Ryan will start Sunday's game against the Astros, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Ryan will make his second career start after allowing an unearned run in 5.1 innings against the Giants in his debut Monday. With Tyler Glasnow and Clayton Kershaw now healthy, it was unclear if Ryan would stick around for another start, but he'll compete with Justin Wrobleski to remain the fifth starter once Walker Buehler (hip) returns.

JULY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Fares well in debut Ryan allowed an unearned run on four hits and three walks while striking out two over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Monday.

Impact A passed ball led to the only run on Ryan's line, which gave him a pretty good first impression in the majors. He threw just 42 of 73 pitches for strikes, and the three walks were a concern since he's displayed some mild control issues throughout his minor-league career. It's unclear if the rookie right-hander will remain in the rotation, as the Dodgers are getting Tyler Glasnow (back) and Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) back in the rotation this week. With two off days next week, it's unlikely the team goes with a six-man rotation for an extended period of time, so it may come down to Ryan or Justin Wrobleski for one spot.
