Ryu Hyun-jin (aged 32) of the Los Angeles Dodgers will return from the IL (Injury List).
Ryu will start against the Arizona Diamondbacks at the 2016 Major League Baseball (MLB) at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles at 5:10 a.m. on Wednesday. It's been 11 days since the Colorado Rockies' home Coorsfield appearance, dubbed the "Former's Tomb" on Wednesday.
Ryu, who had been on the disabled list due to a mild neck pain on Thursday, will return to the mound immediately after completing his 10-day career list for 10 days. The degree of injury is also light, and he actually spends close to a break. He will return to Dodger Stadium at home, where he has pitched extremely hard this season.
As it is a home game, expectations are high for the team to win 12 games in its third season. After winning 11 wins in the season against the Miami Marlins on June 20, he failed to add to his stellar pitching by going to Washington on June 27 (6.2 innings, eight hits and one run), and Colorado on August 1.
Ryu, who is vying for the lead in the NL Cy Young race with 11 wins and two losses and a 1.53 ERA in the MLB this season, boasts an eight-game unbeaten ERA of 0.89 at home. With the best season at home and away from home, he is simply perfect at home.
Arizona's media and fans are wary of "the scariest pitcher in the Dodgers," but are hopeful that Arizona is "very strong" with the left-handed pitchers.
Before Maeda lost the game on Wednesday, Arizona had won three straight games, all of which gave left-hander a loss. In the top of the 11th inning, Carson Kelly launched a solo home run against left-hander Julio Yurias to win the game 3-2 on Saturday.
However, Ryu is in a different level from his left-handed opponent, who recently faced Arizona. Based on his ERA, which boasts the top-ranked MLB overall, he is also at the top of the list in the simulating vote for the Cy Young Award. Moreover, it is a game of pitching at Dodger Stadium.
