Ryu is slated to throw another live BP session this week, and if he comes through well, he could pitch in a game as the next step, the Los Angeles Times' Andy McCullough reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ryu is pain-free and has been throwing bullpen sessions, sitting in the mid-80s with his fastball, as he works this spring to build up arm strength for the upcoming season. He does not like throwing on the side, so pitching coach Rick Honeycutt was encouraged by his desire to get back out there for another session this week. If he makes it through the spring in tact, a big-league rotation spot should be waiting for him.
