GLENDALE, Ariz. >> Of the 10 starting pitchers with major-league experience in camp this spring, Hyun-Jin Ryu probably has the most to prove in order to figure in the Dodgers’ plans for 2017.
“Obviously because I only pitched one game in the past two years, there are some question marks around my name — just like 2013 when I first got to the Dodgers,” the Korean left-hander said through his interpreter Sunday. “There’s definitely things that I need to prove to the organization in order to make it into the starting rotation.”
Proving he is healthy after shoulder surgery in 2015 and elbow surgery last year is Ryu’s first hurdle.
