Dodgers update
Ryu is being activated from the disabled list in time to make the start Monday. He's been on the DL twice this season because of a hip contusion. … The Dodgers (68-31) placed lefthander Clayton Kershaw on the DL because of a tight back Sunday, but he's not their only concern. Maeda is starting in place of righthander Brandon McCarthy, who was also placed on the DL Sunday because of a blister on his right index finger. … Maeda has never faced the Twins but has given up a home run to Ehire Adrianza. …. Chase Utley is batting .478 against Bartolo Colon.
