While the Los Angeles Dodgers began the season with a surplus of starting pitchers, the group contained some question marks. Hyun-Jin Ryu was coming off an elbow procedure, so too was Alex Wood, Scott Kazmir had his share of injury trouble in 2016, and limitations remained in place for Julio Urias.
Nearly three months into the 2017 season, and the Dodgers still face some uncertainty with their starting staff. Kazmir has yet to pitch, while Urias was lost for the season with news on Friday that he’s set to undergo shoulder surgery.
Wood has been a bright spot, but Kenta Maeda and Ryu have endured their share of struggles.
