After exclusively pitching as a starter during his rookie campaign in 2016, Kenta Maeda appeared in four games out of the bullpen the following year and it wound up setting the tone as the Los Angeles Dodgers made a run to the World Series in each of the past two seasons.
Maeda spent nearly the entirety of the 2019 season as a member of the starting rotation before being converted to a relief role last week when Julio Urias returned from the restricted list. Urias made two starts and was expected to continue in that role but now himself is being moved back to the bullpen.
