Dodgers News: Maeda, Ryu Spring Training Updates, Sierra Signing and More | VIDEO
Spring Training is underway at CamelBack Ranch in Arizona with pitchers and catchers reporting on Friday and position players arriving on Wednesday.
Dodgers pitchers Hyun-Jin Ryu and Kenta Maeda have been putting in work since Friday and it seems first baseman Adrian Gonzalez couldn’t wait to join his teammates. After spending some much needed time with the family making Disney art masterpieces, he’s ready to get to work.

Ryu has been working on recovery well before pitchers reported on Friday, but Dodgers manager Dave Roberts says Ryu is still about two weeks behind the rest of the pitchers. Fortunately there’s a silver lining.

It seems Ryu isn’t the only pitcher to hold the attention of the Dodgers higher-ups. Pitching coach Rick Honeycutt tells L.A. Times writer Andy Mccullough he’s been impressed with Maeda.

With so many pitchers being added to the rotation it had us at DodgersNation thinking. So we pose you this week’s twitter question of the week.
When Ryu is healthy, which spot should he take in the rotation? (We know who's taking the top spot)
