Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts named Alex Wood, Brandon McCarthy and Clayton Kershaw, in that order, his starters for the weekend series against the Chicago Cubs. Noticeably absent from the group of probable pitchers was Hyun-Jin Ryu.
He last pitched May 18 against the Miami Marlins. Ryu only allowed two runs on seven hits, two of which were home runs, but he labored through 5.1 innings. Roberts would not say when the 30-year-old may next pitch.
However, the second-year manager did reveal the Dodgers have discussed with Ryu potentially moving him to the bullpen in a long relief role.
