Dodgers rookie Hyun-Jin Ryu set to make debut on April 2

PHOENIX – Hyun-Jin Ryu is scheduled to make his major league debut April 2 in the Dodgers’ second game of the regular season.

The Dodgers had the choice of starting either Ryu or Chad Billingsley on that day. But Billingsley’s pitching schedule has been altered, ruling him out for April 2.

To keep both on schedule to potentially pitch April 2, the Dodgers had planned for Ryu and Billingsley to throw in separate games on Thursday in Southern California.

Ryu will pitch in the opening game of the Freeway Series in Anaheim.

A rookie left-hander from South Korea, Ryu held the Chicago White Sox to one hit over seven innings in his most recent start. Ryu has posted a 3.86 earned-run average in six spring appearances.
