The Los Angeles Dodgers pitching staff faces a season severely impacted by injuries, as River Ryan's ulnar collateral ligament strain necessitates Tommy John surgery.
We were holding out hope, but unfortunately he's got to get the surgery. From me talking to River, he's been through trials and knows how to handle it mentally.
Ryan's success as a rookie, with a 1.33 ERA in four starts, had positioned him for possible postseason consideration, marking a significant achievement in his career.
Ryan is now dealing with a recovery from his second injury this year, having earlier faced shoulder inflammation that delayed his Spring Training.
