News
	Joe Ryan will face hitters in a live batting practice session on Wednesday. Ari Koslow Mon, Aug 24th	Tyler Alexander earned the save Sunday against the Blue Jays, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning to close out Texas’ 3-2 win. It marked his second save in as many days after he had gone nearly three months without a save opportunity. Bruno Mulé Mon, Jun 29th
	Joe Ryan threw a 25-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday. Ari Koslow Wed, Aug 19th	Tyler Alexander worked a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his third save of the season in Texas’ 7-4 win over Toronto. He did not record a strikeout while filling in after Jacob Latz and Jakob Junis had each pitched on the previous two days. Bruno Mulé Sun, Jun 28th
	Joe Ryan threw on flat ground on Monday. Ari Koslow Tue, Aug 11th	Tyler Alexander will open for the Rangers on Tuesday against the Marlins. Ari Koslow Mon, Jun 22nd
	The Twins placed Joe Ryan on the 15-day injured list with a left glute strain. Ari Koslow Fri, Aug 7th	The Rangers entered the season with an unsettled closer situation, and Alexander has been the third option in high-leverage usage behind Robert Garcia and Chris Martin. With both Garcia and Martin having pitched two days in a row entering Monday, Alexander was called on to close out the ninth inning against Baltimore. Bruno Mulé Tue, Mar 31st
	Joe Ryan underwent an MRI that revealed a mild left glute strain. Ari Koslow Thu, Aug 6th
Notes
	Joe Ryan took a clear step forward in 2025, pairing a career-high workload (171 IP) with a 28.2% strikeout rate and his best ERA+ (125), supported by strong underlying indicators like a .218 opponent AVG and elite command (5.7% BB%). His four-seam-heavy profile still carries home run risk, but improved batted-ball suppression and a near-5.0 K/BB ratio helped stabilize his ratios year over year. The 2026 projections continue to view Ryan as a reliable mid-rotation fantasy anchor with above-average strikeouts and solid WHIP, even if he doesn't quite reach ace-level ceilings. At age 30 with a stable role and skills trending positively, Ryan profiles as a dependable SP2 who's safer than his draft cost suggests. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
