While many fans of the Dodgers aren’t overwhelmingly optimistic about a productive return, pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu seems to be determined to prove his critics otherwise, as the 29-year-old southpaw will head to Japan this weekend to start a three-week long rehabbing endeavor before the beginning of MLB spring training.
According to his representatives in Seoul, Ryu will depart for Okinawa on Friday to set up camp with his former Korea Baseball Organization teammate, righty Jang Min-jae of the Hanwha Eagles.
“Ryu will be working out on his own for three weeks,” his agency said.
