After undergoing shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum in 2015, Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu was expected to make a full recovery come Opening Day of the 2016 season.
There was cautious optimism heading into Spring Training last year, but Ryu suffered a setback and began the season on the disabled list. While it was thought that Ryu could make his 2016 debut by May, he did not take the mound for the Dodgers until July.
He was limited to just the one start, in which Ryu allowed six runs on eight hits in just 4.
