The South Korean left-hander, who signed a six-year, $36
million contract with the Dodgers in 2012, has been sidelined
since late March after suffering from a sore shoulder during
spring training.
Ryu, 28, has posted a 28-15 record with a 3.17 ERA after two
seasons in Los Angeles but was twice shut down last year because
of shoulder tightness.
Conservative treatment that included a cortisone injection did
not ease his shoulder pain and after undergoing surgery in Los
Angeles on Thursday, the Korean will join fellow pitcher Brandon
McCarthy (Tommy John surgery) on the sidelines.
In the absence of Ryu and McCarthy, the Dodgers have brought in
minor league pitchers Carlos Frias and Mike Bolsinger as their
fourth and fifth starters behind Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke
and Brett Anderson.
The Dodgers lead the National League West with a 24-14 record.
