Dodgers Place Hyun-Jin Ryu On Injured List

By Jeff Todd | April 9, 2019 at 3:48pm CDT

April 9: The Dodgers announced that Ryu has been placed on the injured list. Righty J.T. Chargois has been recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in his place and will join the Dodgers’ bullpen.

April 8, 11:45pm: Ryu said after the game that he does not feel he has suffered a significant injury, as Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports (Twitter links). The southpaw characterized his exit as precautionary. That’s certainly promising, though manager Dave Roberts made clear that Ryu was nevertheless destined for a stint on the injured list.

8:25pm: The Dodgers may well send another high-priced lefty to the inured list after watching Hyun-Jin Ryu leave the mound early tonight. He’s dealing with a left groin strain, Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reports on Twitter.

There’s added concern here due to Ryu’s history. He suffered a torn left groin muscle last year, ultimately missing about ten weeks of action. Ryu ended up making 15 starts, pitching well enough to receive a qualifying offer — which he accepted.

For the Dodgers, issuing Ryu the QO represented a bet that he’d be on the hill enough to warrant a $17.9MM price tag on one year of his services. He’s worth that and more when healthy, but his availability has been something of a flip of the coin for much of his MLB career. Since coming to the majors from his native Korea in advance of the 2013 campaign, Ryu carries a 3.17 ERA but has averaged only 95 frames and 16 starts annually.

Ryu joins Clayton Kershaw and Rich Hill on the shelf. Fortunately, those hurlers are making progress (the former in particular) and the Dodgers have an exceptionally deep group of pitchers. And the club isn’t exactly suffering in the results department at the moment. Still, the rotation resources have already been strained, so it’s worrying to see another potentially significant injury.

    This has nothing to do with the Dodgers, or Ryu, but I had something pop up in my head and I really feel like I need to ask it.

    Chris Davis vs. Trevor Rosenthal, who wins that at bat right now? It’s kind of the opposite of the unstoppable vs immovable force question.

      Rosenthal wins it. He’s been bad, but Davis just set the Major League record for being the worst stretch in history.

      What’s rosey’s velo looking like? Never mind it doesn’t matter. The only thing Davis could hit right now is a slow pitch softball. Hopefully we let him get an early jump start on his second career soon.

          Yesterday was likely the best game he’s played in his hitless streak. But that doesn’t change much.

          Yeah but when he also mentions the stoppable force vs the movable object it is kind of obvious. Maybe just two coincidences?

          I am being 100% honest that I have not seen this anywhere else. If fact, I still have not seen it on anything. It is possible for multiple people to have the same idea.

        Makes sense to have a defensive SS and an offensive SE too, but it would make the game worse. Same with the DH.

          The reasons and benefits of having the DH and how it is applied GREATLY out weighs the reasons to not have a DH. Logic and reasoning is the smarter way to go than emotion and feeling.

          Seriously? The Dodgers needed a solid setup man more than anything else and they’ve had that need for years now. Friedman finally goes shopping and gets Kelly (instead of someone actually good), yet it is still Roberts’ fault that Kelly gets played? Jeebus, I’d sure like to be Andy Friedman right now. Some fans still blame all of his mistakes on the guy he dumped them onto and he gets a gold-plated pass.

      I thought the very same thing. With the perennial injury Merry-go-round that is the Dodger rotation, Keuchel should knock out 200 innings per season no sweat.

    Ryu might be the biggest talent in the league that can’t stay healthy. He is a tremendous pitcher but is never on the field.

      Kershaw is on his way back. The problem is that Buehler, Ryu and Urias can’t stay healthy and/or pitch deep into games and Friedman refuses to stack the bullpen for a manager who can’t manage one.

        Buehler and Urias are injured?

        It is April, nobody is pitching deep into games.

        Friedman doesn’t believe in stacking a bullpen. We should all know that by now.

          Apparently you haven’t been paying attention to the Dodgers. Buehler is coming off an injury and Urias is on a pitch count and neither lasted long in their recent starts. I said “and/or.” Reading comprehension is lost on a lot of people.

          Yes it is April…believe it or not plenty of SPs are lasting at least 5 innings.

          Buehler was slow-walked through spring training for reasons that were not specified. He was never put on the IL and opened the season on the roster.

          Urias was last injured in May 2017. The plan for him from the beginning of this season was to use him out of the bullpen.

          Do try to keep up especially if you are going to play the lame “reading comprehension” card.

          I never said they were on the IL. You need to keep up, and criticizing your lack of reading comprehension is absolutely valid here.

    Its one thing to have shoulder/elbow issues, but I wonder if these groin or back injuries are from his poor conditioning.

      Great observation. In my playing days I suffered both type of injuries. Hands down the groin injury was my fault for not doing specific training for those muscles. Never say my teammates either. Ignorance is no excuse but I’d be willing to bet it all you are right. Athlete’s regularly stretch the groin but none I’ve been around ever strengthen.
