The Los Angeles Times reports that starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu threw a rare in-between-starts bullpen session Friday, which was attended by Dodgers manager Don Mattingly, team doctor Neal ElAttrache and vice president of medical services Stan Conte. However, Mattingly told the Times he was not worried about Ryu's health, and the rookie was still on track to start Sunday's National League Division Series game against the Braves.
Mattingly explained the attendance of members of the team's medical staff, saying, "Stan's pretty much always watching him. And I think Neal just loves being in the bullpen down there in Atlanta. It's nice. It's cool there, the whole thing. So it's good. Full disclosure."
