It’s happening. After what feels like forever, 28-year-old Ryan Ward is reportedly being called up by the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The news was first reported by Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic and confirmed by Jack Harris of the California Post. Ward is expected to join the team initially as part of the taxi squad, with speculation that he’s filling in for a player awaiting the birth of a child — possibly Alex Call, though that’s unconfirmed at this point.
Whatever the circumstances, this is great news. Ryan Ward has worked hard and paid his dues, and he deserves a real shot to play baseball at the big league level. Here’s hoping he gets the opportunity to show what he can do.
As always — God bless, and Go Dodgers! ⚡🔵
