Dodgers' Hyun-Jin Ryu: Move to minors not yet discussed

Manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that the club has not discussed sending Ryu down to the minors, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Ryu remains in a holding pattern as the Dodgers are intent on keeping a five-man rotation with Kenta Maeda and Rich Hill back, which leaves Ryu without a defined role. Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times adds that Ryu's current routine is not compatible with a long relief role, even if that seems to be the logical place to put him for the time being. In any case, Ryu's undefined role has bottomed out his fantasy value at this point.
