Urias reached the 79-pitch limit Monday, tossing 3.2 innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City.
The talented prospect walked four and surrendered two runs, but those stats are not important at this stage; his pitch count, however, is. The Orange County Register's Bill Plunkett noted that 79 pitches was unusually high, implying that the Dodgers could be considering adding Urias to their major-league roster sooner than later. The team refuses to shed any light on its plans for the young lefty, but savvy fantasy owners will scoop up Urias -- assuming he is currently not owned -- in the event the Dodgers are truly accelerating his arrival to the majors.
