According to a team spokesperson,
Ryu was at his normal velocity and used all of his pitches with no problems before, during or after with his shoulder. He will be re-examined tomorrow to determine how the shoulder responded. Ryu faced several Dodger hitters, including Matt Kemp, Yasiel Puig, Andre Ethier, Carl Crawford, Dee Gordon and Scott Van Slyke.
No word on how the batters fared, but how the pitcher’s shoulder feels tomorrow is probably more important. Ryu is a potential Game 3 starter in the National League Division Series if he’s healthy. If he isn’t, expect Dan Haren to take the assignment.
