WBC News: Dodgers Ace Julio Urias Won’t Pitch in Mexico’s Must-Win Game on Wednesday

Team Mexico is getting set for a win-and-in game against Team Canada in the World Baseball Classic. First pitch is around 12:00 p.m. PST, and the winner of the game locks in a spot in the next round of the tournament. While the loser isn’t necessarily eliminated, they’ll need a USA loss against Colombia to have any chance of advancing to the next round.

Team Mexico is starting Houston Astros RHP Jose Urquidy in the game, but many have speculated if Dodgers ace Julio Urias could make an appearance at some point — he proved in 2020 that he was pretty good out of the bullpen in important games.
