Urias will have his next scheduled start bumped up to Sunday against San Francisco, the Orange County Register reports.
If the Dodgers kept in line with their original rotation, the next turn for Urias would have landed Monday in Arizona, but they'll instead bump the young lefty up to a game showcased on the national stage. A team day off Thursday allowed the Dodgers to make this move, while also providing Clayton Kershaw and Scott Kazmir with an extra day of rest. Effectively, Michael Bolsinger is now expected to start Monday's series opener. Urias owns a 6.94 ERA in three big league starts, but he's been tasked with facing some of the best offenses in baseball, specifically the Cubs and Rockies. Urias showed improvement in his last outing, so he could build off that Sunday. He has not yet shown the ability to pitch efficiently, so it's a gamble to bank on him qualifying for a win.
