Hyun-Jin Ryu leaves with the Groin strain

11:45 p.m.: Ryu said after the match that he did not feel badly hurt, as reported by Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times (Twitter connections). Southpaw called his exit precautionary. This is certainly promising, although manager Dave Roberts said that Ryu was nevertheless destined to be on the wounded list.

8:25 p.m.: The Dodgers might send another expensive leftist to the list of victims after watching Hyun-Jin Ryu leave the mound early tonight. According to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register, he suffers from a left groin injury. on Twitter.

Ryu's story also worried us. He had a tear to the muscle of the left groin last year, ultimately missing about ten weeks of action. Ryu ended up making 15 starts and started enough to receive a qualifying offer, which he accepted.

For the Dodgers, Ryu's QO exit was a wager that he would be enough on the hill to earn $ 17.9 million for a year of service. It's worth the effort and more when he's healthy, but his availability has been a staple for much of his career at MLB. Since he arrived in North Korea before the 2013 campaign, Ryu averages 3.17, but averages only 95 executives and 16 starts per year.

Ryu joined Clayton Kershaw and Rich Hill on the shelf. Fortunately, these throwers are progressing (the first in particular) and the Dodgers have an exceptionally deep throwing group. And the club does not suffer exactly in the results department at the moment. Nevertheless, the resources in rotation have already been put to the test, so it is worrying to see another potentially important injury.
