River Ryan is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for Week 19 (2024). Target River Ryan as a starting pitcher free agent waiver wire add for fantasy baseball.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 17% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Dodgers got a much-needed pitching performance from rookie right-hander River Ryan on Sunday, as he shut down the Astros over 5 2/3 innings allowing just two hits and three walks while striking out eight.
It was just Ryan's second big league start, but he was able to pick up his first win and did so against a pretty good opponent in the process.

Ryan has now allowed just one earned run over his first 11 innings as a pro and has 10 strikeouts. He had all his pitches working on Sunday, including a very sharp slider that kept both right-handed and left-handed hitters off balance.
Ryan is an add in 12-team leagues or larger as his solid performances thus far have likely earned him another turn (or two) in the Dodger rotation. With how many injuries the Dodgers have had to their starting pitchers, they have to be thrilled with how well Ryan has started his MLB career.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues CALL-UP ETA: July ANALYSIS: Unlike many players currently in the minor leagues, Chandler Simpson has proven he can be a valuable fantasy player at the MLB level.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: The Nationals went viral on social media this week for making a fun call-up. They called up their bat dog from Triple-A.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Samuel Basallo might be the best hitter in the minors right now, and he has catcher eligibility.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Painter's last two starts don't give a ton of confidence that he is ready to be in the majors. It may not even be before the All-Star break before we see him, but that does not mean we are in stash territory. The good news is, […]
