LOS ANGELES (AP) – The Dodgers are heading into the postseason healthier than they were a year ago, and they hope it holds up.
The NL West champions have some question marks on their roster, most notably involving 14-game winner Hyun-Jin Ryu and second baseman Dee Gordon.
Ryu is set to throw a simulated game Thursday as he rehabs from shoulder inflammation. The left-hander hasn’t pitched in a game since Sept. 12, when he was removed after one inning. The Dodgers foresee him starting Game 3 of the NL Division Series in St. Louis on Oct. 6.
Gordon left a game last Saturday because of irritation in his right hip, an issue that bothered him in June, too. He downplayed it during Tuesday’s workout at Dodger Stadium, suggesting others are making too big a deal of it.
