While Hyun-Jin Ryu enjoyed a standout rookie season with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2013, his time with the organization has since been marred by injury. He put forth another strong campaign the following year but made just one combined start in 2015 and 2016.
Ryu underwent season-ending surgery in May 2015 to repair a torn labrum in his throwing shoulder, and didn’t take the mound for the Dodgers until July 2016. However, that lasted all of 4.2 innings in a rocky start against the San Diego Padres.
Ryu was placed on the disabled list two days later because of elbow tendinitis and eventually underwent elbow surgery.
