Ryu (hip) could start Thursday against the Rockies in Colorado, Eric Stephen of SB Nation reports.

EDGE Analysis

As Stephen puts it, Ryu "kind of has to pitch Thursday," with both Rich Hill (blister) and Brandon McCarthy (shoulder) unavailable and the Dodgers seemingly intent on giving Clayton Kershaw an extra day of rest. Ross Stripling is one fallback option if Ryu is not cleared or the team could dip into the minor-league system. Ryu failed to make it out of the fifth inning in a prior start at Coors Field this season -- he allowed two runs on six hits in a loss.
