Fantasy Impact:

Ryan has fought through injury issues this spring and is poised to play a pivotal role leading a rebuilt Minnesota rotation for new manager Derek Shelton, posting a 3.42 ERA to go along with a 1.04 WHIP (13-10, 194 strikeouts) in 31 appearances on the mound in 2025. The right-hander offers fantasy managers an innings-inning option in lineups entering 2026.
