LOS ANGELES -- Consider this an update of sorts on Dodgers pitcher Hyun-jin Ryu, though it isn't much of an update at all. More of a checking in. Tuesday will mark a week since Ryu began his throwing program, though to date that hasn't meant much more than lightly playing catch.
"The first week was really trying to be careful with him, and just amp up from there," manager Don Mattingly said on Monday. "We're trying to be cautious, make sure he give himself the us best chance to be healthy when he gets back.
