Urias threw 3.2 shutout innings Tuesday against the Yankees, allowing four hits and three walks while striking out two and receiving a no-decision.
Tuesday was a good example of the risks involved with young pitchers on strict pitch counts, as Urias needed 78 pitches to get through 3.2 innings, and was removed despite not having allowed any runs. At just 20 years old, the Dodgers have been extremely careful with Urias, who has pitched admirably in the few innings he has been given, sporting a 3.50 ERA and 9.75 K:9. Unfortunately for fantasy owners, it looks as though the Dodgers will move Urias to the bullpen in an effort to more significantly limit his innings moving forward.
