"I actually was going to start Dalton, and then I went to Dalton [Saturday] night and I said, 'Hey, I'm going to go against what we talked about and I'm going to start Ryan, because...' And Dalton finished my sentence and said, 'Because he's earned it.'"
"Dalton said he was going to come up to me and say to forgo a start and let Ryan start. That just speaks to Dalton being a teammate and getting it."
"Ward went 2-for-5 with an RBI in the Dodgers' 9-6 loss to the Rockies. His run-scoring single in the top of the fourth inning gave the team a 3-0 lead at the time."
"While a run scored to pull the Dodgers within three, that would be all for the offense."
Ryan Ward was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to join the Dodgers as Freddie Freeman went on the paternity list. After seven years in the Minor Leagues, Ward earned his promotion, having been the 2025 Pacific Coast League MVP. Manager Dave Roberts initially planned to start Dalton Rushing but Rushing chose to let Ward start instead. Ward contributed with a 2-for-5 performance, including an RBI. Rushing also had a crucial at-bat but was denied a hit by a diving play from Willi Castro.
