LOS ANGELES — In a Los Angeles Dodgers rotation that includes Clayton Kershaw (11-2), Alex Wood (8-0) and Brandon McCarthy (6-3), Hyun-Jin Ryu can be overlooked.
Still, the Dodgers know the ability of the South Korean left-hander, who will start Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim, Calif.
In 2014 and 2015, Ryu was a combined 28-15 and a dependable presence in the rotation. He lost 2016 to injuries, and he has yet to return to old form in 2017.
Ryu (3-6, 4.35 ERA) has only two quality starts this year in 12 attempts. He has gone seven innings once.
