Hyun-Jin Ryu: (Back) MRI Negative

An MRI on Ryu's ailing back showed no structural damage, SB Nation reports.

Analysis:

The Dodgers held Ryu out of workouts again Thursday after the lefty experienced some mid-back tightness following Tuesday's bullpen session. However, Ryu has expressed confidence that the issue is not serious, and the results of the MRI suggest that is indeed the case. It's still uncertain when Ryu may return to elevated ground, but he thinks the injury will push his schedule back "a few days at most."
