Julio Urías’ second spring training start takes a scary turn

Julio Urías’ second start of the spring took a wrong turn in the first inning when he hit former Dodgers prospect Willie Calhoun in the face with a 95-mph fastball. Calhoun was carted off the field bleeding from his face and taken to a hospital. Urías and Calhoun, who was traded to the Rangers in 2017 as part of the package for Yu Darvish, were teammates on the 2017 Oklahoma City Dodgers. Urías said he asked Rangers infielder Rougned Odor for Calhoun’s phone number to reach out to him. Visibly shaken, Urías regrouped to hold the Rangers scoreless over three innings.
