For a team that’s taken great pride in a deep starting rotation, the Los Angeles Dodgers are suddenly facing some question marks as the postseason approaches. Namely with Hyun-Jin Ryu, though Walker Buehler and Clayton Kershaw both haven’t been their sharpest of late.
With Ryu, who’s now thrown his most innings since 2013, there would appear to be an issue of fatigue setting in. However, he and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts have both refuted the notion. Ryu’s struggles have spanned four consecutive starts in which he’s gone 0-3 with a 9.95 ERA.
He’s gone past the fifth inning only once during that span and issued a season-high four walks against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday.
