PHOENIX –– River Ryan made his reintroduction at Fanfest last month, showing up 30 pounds bigger than when Dodgers fans last saw him as a highly touted rookie pitcher in 2024, back before his promising debut season was cut short by Tommy John surgery. On Saturday at Camelback Ranch, it was Gavin Stone’s turn to do the same, showing off the similarly impressive physical transformation he has made over the last two years, after his own breakout rookie campaign in 2024 was ended by shoulder surgery. “It’s been a long rehab process,” said Stone, the once-slender right-hander who, like Ryan, added bulk to his frame during his time out injured, arriving at camp this year up roughly 15 pounds from his debut season.
