The words from Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts did not exactly classify as a revelation. Hyun-Jin Ryu has not picked up a baseball since the middle of July, and the Dodgers have not provided many updates about his progress. But on Thursday, Roberts confirmed the obvious: Ryu is not expected to pitch for the team again this season.
Ryu is currently in “rehab mode,” Roberts said. He would need to restart a throwing program in the near future in order to contribute this year, and a throwing program does not appear on his horizon.
