[MLB] Toronto "Ryu Hyun-jin's rehabilitation goes smoothly"...Possibility of return match in July

"Ryu Hyun-jin is recovering at a normal speed," said Ross Atkins, head of the Toronto Blue Jays, in an interview with local media such as TSN on the 29th (Korea Standard Time). "Ryu Hyun-jin and Chad Green, who have undergone elbow ligament joint surgery, are conducting rehabilitation training well. No specific schedule has been set for his return. "We are training in the usual order," he said.

Taking the team's situation and Atkins' words together, Ryu Hyun-jin is likely to return immediately after the All-Star break. 스포츠토토

Ryu Hyun-jin, who was on the operating table in June last year, has been focusing on rehabilitation training with the aim of returning in July this year. Recently, he went through bullpen pitching and even trained live pitching against batters like in real life. Ryu Hyun-jin said in an interview with local media last month, "I want to add strength in the second half of this season," adding, "I set mid-July as my goal for my return."

Ryu Hyun-jin's recovery speed acts as a variable in Toronto's second-half power plan. Currently, Toronto's ace Alec Manoa has left the starting rotation due to a severe slump. For the club, it is the best scenario for Ryu Hyun-jin to fill the position, but there are voices calling for him to prepare in case Ryu Hyun-jin fails to return.

Atkins said, "We are making recruiting starting pitchers a priority in the trade market, but we are also considering the return of Ryu Hyun-jin and Manoa," adding, "We do not have a four-man selection system in mind."
