Los Angeles (AFP) - South Korean pitcher Ryu Hyun-Jin, who has yet to throw a pitch this season, will undergo left shoulder surgery, the Los Angeles Dodgers said Wednesday.
Ryu started the Major League Baseball season on the disabled list due to shoulder soreness and will have the exploratory arthroscopic surgery performed in Los Angeles by doctor Neal ElAttrache.
The 27-year-old left-hander last pitched during spring training and was trying to avoid having surgery which could potentially end his season.
