Earlier this morning Jeff Passan reported that Dodgers left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu was considering shoulder surgery. Mark Saxon reports that Ryu has decided to go ahead and have it. Assuming Saxon is right, the surgery would end Ryu’s season. Ryu left Dodgers spring training due to a sore shoulder in late March and has been unable to work his way back.
The Dodgers planned on Ryu being their third starter this year, and his production in the past has justified it: throwing 344 innings with a 3.17 ERA and 293/78 K/BB ratio since signing with Los Angeles in 2013.
But now it appears that we won’t see him in action until 2016.
