Ryu's rehabHyun-Jin Ryu (shoulder surgery) will face live hitters in a simulated game early next week, Roberts said. Manager Dave Roberts chose Carl Crawford to play left Wednesday. In the wake of Andre Ethier's broken leg, five Dodgers took turns in left field during the first five weeks of the season. And Van Slyke is at least two weeks from starting a rehabilitation assignment, Roberts said. Thompson hit a walk-off home run Tuesday night, but the Dodgers preferred a left-handed hitter against right-handed pitcher Noah Syndergaard and his triple-digit fastball.
