Dodgers starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu was able to throw batting practice Saturday as a part of his recovery from a back injury that has slowed his progress to begin spring training, reports MLB.com.
Ryu told reporters he is feeling great and is very confident he will be ready at the start of the regular season. Ryu threw 36 pitches to batters Saturday and pitching coach Rick Honeycutt was pleased with his progress.
"It's a work day, and obviously not every ball went exactly where you want it to, but overall I'm very pleased," Honeycutt said.
