Dodgers starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu underwent an arthroscopic left elbow debridement to clean out the damaged tissue in the area on Wednesday. The operation was performed by Neal ElAttrache and the team indicated Ryu will be ready to pitch in 2017.
But the Dodgers also declared Ryu capable of pitching in 2016, after he missed the entirety of 2015 because of labrum surgery. Ryu made only one appearance, a disastrous outing against San Diego on July 7. After giving up six runs in less than five innings and failing to maintain his fastball velocity, Ryu returned to the disabled list.
