Hyun-Jin Ryu may need shoulder surgery, Dodgers may need a trade (Big League Stew)

The news is getting worse for The Los Angeles Dodgers and starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu, who may need shoulder surgery and, in the worst case, could miss all of 2015. That's certainly not ideal for a team with World Series aspirations that's already missing one of its starting pitchers for the season.

Our man Jeff Passan has the news:

Source: Dodgers LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu considering surgery on shoulder. Korean report says happening this week. Source says still not determined.

As Passan notes, there are reports out of Korea, Ryu's home country, that say surgery is happening.
