The Los Angeles Dodgers’ starting rotation has been ravaged by injuries for much of the year, but reinforcements may soon be on the way as a handful of key pitchers are beginning to work their way back from the disabled list.
Kenta Maeda propelled the Dodgers to a victory in his return last Wednesday, logging five innings pitched of two-run ball against the Texas Rangers. Rich Hill is expected to rejoin the rotation on Tuesday and start against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field — his first in nearly a month.
Another left-hander in the midst of recovery is Hyun-Jin Ryu, who has been sidelined since May 3 with a left groin strain.
