LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Dodgers no longer need to worry about left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu opting out of his contract after next season. But they might need to start wondering if he’ll ever pitch for them again.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts revealed before Saturday’s game against the visiting San Francisco Giants that Ryu had another physical setback, this time a groin strain that forced him to cancel his bullpen session. Ryu hasn’t pitched in a regular-season game since Oct. 6, 2014, a 3-1 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 3 of the National League Division Series.
