Urias has been officially recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Thursday against the Nationals, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.
It was announced Tuesday afternoon that Urias would get the starting nod Thursday, and the morning roster move makes it official. The 19-year-old lefty fared pretty well against the Nationals the last time he faced them this season, striking out six over five innings of two-run ball en route to a no-decision. This time around, the lineup he's facing will be lacking both Ryan Zimmerman (ribs) and Jayson Werth (rest). Urias is not expected to remain in the rotation after Thursday's start, as he will likely be transitioned to the bullpen due to innings restrictions.
