Ryu may have a September start skipped, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Dave Roberts indicated Saturday that the Dodgers are considering skipping Ryu's spot in the rotation sometime in September in order to mitigate possible fatigue. The 32-year-old has struggled in his last two starts, allowing 11 runs in 10 frames to increase his season ERA from 1.45 to 2.00. He has pitched 152.2 innings this season, a mark he has topped only once in his career -- as a rookie in 2013.

Ryu (12-4) allowed seven runs on nine hits and a walk over 4.1 innings, striking out seven and taking the loss in Friday's 10-2 loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Solo shots by Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez put Ryu behind, but Didi Gregorius' fifth-inning grand slam accounted for the most significant damage against the Dodgers' starter. It's a second straight poor start from Ryu, who has seen his ERA inflate from 1.53 to 2.00 over his last three starts. He owns a 0.98 WHIP and 133:19 K:BB heading into his next start versus the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

Ryu (12-3) took the loss Saturday, allowing four runs on six hits and a walk over 5.2 innings while striking out five as the Dodgers were downed 4-3 by Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Solo homers by Josh Donaldson and Adam Duvall in the sixth inning helped chase the southpaw from the game and stick him with his first loss since the All-Star break. Incredibly, it's only the second time all year Ryu has given up more than two earned runs, with the other such outing coming June 28 at Coors Field, and that was also the last time he served up a home run or failed to complete six innings. The 32-year-old will carry a 1.64 ERA and 126:18 K:BB through 148.1 innings into his next start Friday, at home against the Yankees.

Ryu (12-2) tossed seven shutout innings while allowing five hits and one walk with four strikeouts across seven innings to earn a victory against the Diamondbacks on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Clearly, Ryu has recovered from his neck issue, as he dropped his ERA to a ridiculous 1.45. Opposing hitters are batting just .221, which is a great number, but even more impressively, Ryu has walked only 17 batters while striking out 121. In another year of power explosion, he's also allowed just 10 homers. Ryu, who will pitch next at the Braves on Saturday, owns a 0.93 WHIP and 121 strikeouts in 142.2 innings this season.

Ryu (neck) was activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of his start Sunday against the Diamondbacks, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He ends up missing a little less than two weeks with the neck issue. Ryu logged a 0.55 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 23 strikeouts over 32.2 innings (five starts) in July. Arizona ranks fourth in the majors with a 115 wRC+ against left-handed pitching.

Ryu (neck) will be activated off the 10-day injured list to start Sunday against the Diamondbacks, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Dave Roberts said over the weekend Ryu could return as early as Sunday, and that is indeed when he will come off the IL. The 32-year-old landed on the shelf with neck soreness but will rejoin the rotation after the 10-day minimum. The injury wasn't apparent during his last start as he allowed only three hits over six scoreless frames.

Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Ryu (neck) will likely return from the 10-day injured list to start either Aug. 11 against the Diamondbacks or Aug. 13 in Miami, Rowan Kavner of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ryu's placement on the 10-day injured list Friday with a sore neck came as a surprise, but as anticipated, the Dodgers are viewing it as merely a short-term setback for the All-Star. If Ryu makes it through his throwing program this week without incident, he could be ready to go against Arizona in the final game of the Dodgers' homestand. Tony Gonsolin was summoned from Triple-A Oklahoma City to make a spot start in Ryu's stead Monday against the Cardinals.

Ryu (neck) doesn't believe he'll be on the 10-day injured list for long, and he doesn't expect to need a rehab start, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ryu was placed on the shelf Friday due to neck soreness, but the issue isn't expected to keep him out for long. There's a chance he'll miss just one turn through the rotation, though a timetable for his return should become clearer in the coming days.

Ryu was placed on the 10-day injured list with neck soreness Friday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of the issue is not yet clear. Ryu certainly hasn't pitched like an injured pitcher of late, allowing just two earned runs over his last five starts combined. The move may be simply a way for the Dodgers to limit his innings down the stretch given their 16-game lead in the NL West.

Ryu allowed three hits and one walk over six shutout innings and had one strikeout during Wednesday's 5-1 win at Colorado. He did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Ryu continued his season-long dominance but wasn't able to notch his 12th win since the Dodgers didn't break onto the scoreboard until the ninth inning. The 32-year-old has a 1.66 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 117:16 K:BB through 135.2 innings and lines up to face the Cardinals early next week.
