Ryu was impressive in throwing a live batting practice session Friday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pitching coach Rick Honeycutt said he saw "no negatives" and that Ryu should be ready to pitch in a game next. The team hasn't decided whether it will be a simulated or Cactus League game, but it's great news either way. Ryu is expected to be ready to rejoin the rotation by Opening Day, as he attempts to return to his prior form.
