Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Ryan Johnson, 23-year-old right-handed pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels, has been activated from the 15-day injured list on May 13, 2026. Johnson began the season in the Angels' rotation following a solid spring training showing but was sidelined due to a viral infection followed by a hamstring strain. He completed his rehab assignment with strong results, posting a 12:1 K:BB ratio over 8.1 innings across two rehab starts. Johnson threw 78 pitches over five frames in his final rehab outing. He is expected to rejoin the Angels' pitching staff, likely in a bullpen role, though his exact return timeline remains unclear.
