Ryan Helsley Dealt With Toe Injury Early This Season
Ryan Helsley (toe) dealt with a toe injury on his right foot earlier this year that required him to wear an insert in his cleat that led to a drop in velocity and a lack of command. The 30-year-old right-hander first dealt with the injury in spring training, although he said he feels great now. It's worth noting after he blew his third straight save in Monday's loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. In his three outings in June, Helsley has allowed a run each time out on six total hits (one homer) while walking one and striking out five in three innings. The two-time All-Star currently sports a 3.75 ERA and 3.99 FIP with a 1.54 WHIP and 13 saves in 24 innings in 2025 after leading the league with 49 sacks in 2024. The good news is Helsley's velocity is back up, and he's confident he can bounce back after a rough start to the month.
