River Ryan No Longer In Consideration for Starting Role?
According to Sonja Chen of MLB.com, Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitching prospect River Ryan is trending towards opening the season at Triple-A Oklahoma City, not in the MLB rotation. Ryan is currently in consideration for one of the final spots in the starting rotation with Blake Snell (shoulder) and Gavin Stone (shoulder) both on the shelf. However, it appears Ryan is behind both Emmet Sheehan and Justin Wrobleski in the competition, given their prior major-league experience. Additionally, the Dodgers see Ryan as a full-time starter and want to ensure he remains in that role with either club and not demoted to a swingman role. This spring, Ryan has been one of the most impressive pitchers on the roster, logging 9 2/3 innings to the tune of a 1.86 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and a 12:4 K:BB. He would be viewed as a solid stash candidate once demoted to Triple-A.
