The Los Angeles Dodgers were forced to adjust their plans for Julio Urias heading into the 2019 MLB season, both in part because of his performance in Spring Training and injuries to members of their starting pitching staff along the way.
As a result, Urias broke camp as one of the club’s five starts. The Dodgers made it clear it would not be permanent, as the left-hander remained on an innings limit for what marked his first full season removed from shoulder surgery.
Urias made four starts prior to being placed in the bullpen. He’s adjusted to the role well and earned the first two saves of his career thus far.
