The Los Angeles Dodgers transferred Julio Urias to the 60-day disabled list in a corresponding move to claiming J.T. Chargois off waivers from the Minnesota Twins on Friday. Urias’ DL counter won’t begin until Opening Day, but in any event he was unlikely to pitch prior to the All-Star break.
Urias underwent anterior capsule surgery last June, ending his 2017 season. He was projected to need 12 to 14 months to recover.
There reportedly was some belief over the winter that he would make an early return, but the Dodgers appear content to allow Urias ample time to recover from having his throwing shoulder operated on.
