Fireballer River Ryan came down the mound complaining of an injury during the pitch.
Ryan started the home game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Dodger Stadium on the 11th (Korea time), threw a 90-mile slider on the fourth pitch to Michael A Taylor after two outs in the top of the fifth inning with a 3-0 lead, and shook his right arm and soon showed signs of discomfort.
Manager Dave Roberts, who watched this, hurried up the mound with his trainer to check his condition. In the end, Ryan went down the mound feeling down, and Alex Besia was used as the second pitcher.
After the game, Roberts said, `I'll be waiting for good news, but I think I'll have to look at it very carefully. We'll know more tomorrow, but he must have been embarrassed to see him waving his arms," he said, hinting at the possibility of being listed on the injured list (IL).
Ryan said "My right arm was uncomfortable from the third inning, but I didn't think it was a big deal. Every time I finished the inning, I relaxed my muscles with a drink, but things happened in the fifth inning"I didn't want to go down, I wanted to finish the inning. But he didn't give me a chance to see me with an impression. That was it" he said.
If Ryan had one more out count and filled five innings, he could have won the starting game. The Dodgers won 4-1 without losing the lead afterward. Ryan gave up four hits in four ⅔ and shut out a scoreless inning. He struck out four.
As a result, Ryan made his major league debut on July 23rd and has won one game and a 1.33 ERA in four games so far, and will be on the IL. After conducting Ryan's MRI examination on the 12th, the Dodgers will list him on the IL and call up Landon Neck again from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Ryan, who started his professional career after being drafted by the San Diego Padres in the 11th round of the 2021 draft, began pitching in the minor leagues in earnest when he was traded to the Dodgers in March 2022. In more than two years, he pitched 176 ⅓ innings in 49 minor league games, marking 3 wins and 11 losses with a 3.22 ERA and 212 strikeouts.
Ryan, who won the rotation with four hits and one run (non-earned) in five ⅓ innings in his debut against the San Francisco Giants, lost his chance to come back due to unexpected injuries. In particular, it is unfortunate that he stepped down after pitching overwhelmingly against Paul Skins, who is considered the best fastball starter in the Major League.
Ryan, who threw only 52 pitches, had a maximum speed of 98.3 miles and an average speed of 97.1 miles, which was 1 mile faster than usual.
