Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Hyun-jin Ryu enjoyed a moment of distraction after the series against the Texas Rangers.
Hyun-jin Ryu watched batting practice before the third game of the series against Texas at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on Thursday.
He didn’t just watch. He helped the infielders by throwing balls to third base coach Luis Rivera and field coordinator Gil Kim, who were hitting fungos to the infielders.
Occasionally, I would get a Fungo bat from Coach Rivera and try to hit Fungo myself.
After watching the drills, I made my way over to the third base dugout. That’s where I ran into a familiar face.’
Marcus Simien, a former Toronto teammate of Ryu’s, was all smiles and hugs as soon as he saw him 먹튀검증.
In addition to Ryu, Simien was able to meet and talk with his former teammates, including Bo Bissett, Cavan Biggio, and Matt Chapman.
The day after a start is one of the few times Ryu is allowed to relax, as he’s been working his way through the starting rotation since his return. Ryu took advantage of it.
After allowing three runs on five hits and one walk with five strikeouts in six innings against Texas the day before, Ryu is expected to start against the Boston Red Sox on April 18 if the current rotation holds.
Toronto will send Yusei Kikuchi to the mound that day, with a projected lineup of George Springer (right field), Bo Bissett (designated hitter), Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (first base), Davis Schneider (second base), Wee Merrifield (left field), Santiago Espinal (third base), Alejandro Kirk (catcher), Ernie Clement (shortstop) and Dalton Basho (center field).
Third baseman Matt Chapman, who has been sidelined with a finger injury, practiced normally for the second straight day. “We’ll see how he feels after today’s practice and decide what the next step is,” manager John Schneider said.
