Toronto, through game notes on the 11th, unveiled a plan to operate a starting pitcher for the 2023 American Professional Baseball Major League Cubs, which will be held at the Rogers Center in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on the 12th and 14th. Following Jose Berrios on the 12th and Chris Bassett on the 13th, Hyun-Jin Ryu starting on the 14th is Toronto’s current plan.
Ryu Hyun-jin started in an away game against the Cleveland Guardians on the 8th and pitched a no-hitter, giving no hits until the 4th inning.
However, in the bottom of the 4th inning, with 2nd out and 1st base, Oscar Gonzalez hit the inside of his right knee with a strong batted ball at 157km/h. He got back up and he threw to first base to end the inning, but collapsed onto the ground complaining of pain.
In the 5th inning, Ryu Hyun-jin, who was unable to climb the mound, was diagnosed with a bruise, and a ‘negative judgment’ came out in an additional X-ray examination. It was good news for Ryu Hyun-jin, who returned to the big leagues after 14 months after undergoing left elbow ligament surgery in June of last year, and the fans who had been waiting for him.
After his return, Ryu Hyun-jin’s performance was 2 games and 1 loss with an average ERA of 4.00. If Ryu Hyun-jin finishes bullpen pitching normally, he will challenge the Cubs for his first win of the season and his 76th win (46 losses) in the big leagues.
Ryu Hyun-jin’s record against the Cubs is 4 games, 1 win, 1 loss with an average ERA of 3.00. However, he never faced the Cubs after moving to Toronto. The game he played on June 17, 2019 (7 innings, 7 hits and 2 runs) while belonging to the Los Angeles Dodgers was his most recent confrontation.
The Cubs starter on the 14th is Jamieson Tyone. Taeion’s record this season is 7-6 with an average ERA of 5.17.
Meanwhile, MLB foreign media are confident about Ryu Hyun-jin’s appearance. MLB.com Toronto reporter Keegan Matheson and other local reporters said, “Ryu Hyun-jin will start against the Cubs on the 14th.” CBS Sports also added, “If no problems are found in the bullpen pitching on the 12th, we will normally pitch in the next game (against the Cubs on the 14th).”
