Some twenty months removed from surgery on his shoulder, Julio Urias is ready to contribute in a mighty way to the Dodgers’ pitching staff… ultimately as a starter. Last September and October we saw that his shoulder was healthy. The surgeon said that there was no internal damage in his shoulder, which is common in older pitchers who have some
“miles” on their shoulders. A full recovery was predicted and we saw what a healthy Julio Urias can do.
He wasn’t satisfied however. He worked hard over the winter, lost weight and replaced fat with muscle. When he showed up at Spring Training, it was easy to see that he had taken his off-season seriously.
