Hyun-jin Ryu made his first step towards returning to the Dodgers rotation Sunday, tossing two innings for Class-A Rancho Cucamonga on a rehab assignment.
Ryu last pitched in a game on March 17, 2015 before having his 2015 season wiped out with surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. His last pitched game that counted was Game 3 of the 2014 NLDS.
The lefty made a total of 22 pitches (19 strikes), allowing only a single while striking out two and walking none. Ryu threw 10 more pitches in the bullpen after his day was done.
