2025 Fantasy Outlook
It was expected to be a good 2024 season for Ruiz after his recovery from a mid-season injury that sidelined him for part of 2023. However, Ruiz was out for the entire 2024 season after just three games due to a serious knee injury. If fully fit and recovered for 2025, Ruiz has the potential to be one of the top creative midfielders in the league (he created 75 chances across 2022 and 2023), bringing immense quality and vision to Real Salt Lake's midfield. His return could be a game changer for the team, and he's one to watch in the upcoming season.
