""I'm around bullpen number 10," Ryan explained. "Toward the end of the year in the rehab process, I had four live outings. Unfortunately, the triple-A season was over, and I couldn't go out and do any rehab outings. So it was either jump straight into the playoffs or take a normal offseason build-up for '26, and that was the consensus we came to. And I feel great. I feel healthy, feel strong, ready to go.""
""It's definitely a long process," Ryan began. "I've been injured before, taking some time off, so it wasn't like anything bombarded on me as far as anything I couldn't handle. It was just really cool to dive into my health a little bit and put some weight on. "Before I got hurt, I think I was like 195 pounds, and now I'm hovering around 225; that's helped a lot.""
River Ryan missed the entire 2025 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery but is expected to return this year. He debuted in MLB in 2024, posting a 1.33 ERA over 20.1 innings across four starts. Ryan completed four live rehab outings late in 2025 but skipped postseason appearances to follow a normal offseason build for 2026. He reported feeling healthy, strong, and ready for Spring Training. During recovery he focused on conditioning, gaining about 30 pounds of muscle—rising from roughly 195 to 225 pounds—and developing a routine aimed at sustaining performance.
