"It doesn't feel good," Ryu said through his interpreter, Bryan Lee, after a 2-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. He had injured his groin in the past. The last time, in 2016, he missed a month. Now he was awaiting a scan on the strained muscles left groin. "This seems to be worse than the ones I had in the past."
The Dodgers were unsure how much time Ryu will miss. Manager Dave Roberts described the injury as "a big loss." The ailment could cement top prospect Walker Buehler as a member of the team's rotation. On Wednesday, the uncertainty with Ryu cast a shadow over the team's most unlikely victory of the season.
