The starting rotation tip-toes along a very thin line.
I’m not the first to make note of the fragility of the Dodgers rotation with an injury prone Hyun-Jin Ryu. That message was made all the more clear with each home run the Mariners hit off of Brandon McCarthy (4) and spot starter David Huff (2) in the first two games of this series.
Ryu had back, hip, and shoulder issues in 2014. He missed the last three weeks of the season with a sore shoulder before returning for Game 3 of the Divisional Series versus the Cardinals on October 6 where he pitched 6 innings giving up only 1 run.
