Urias will be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Alex Wood is DL-bound due to left elbow soreness, and Urias will get another look after his somewhat disappointing major league debut. The 19-year-old Urias was scheduled to start for Oklahoma City on Thursday, and it's possible he could slot into the Dodgers' rotation Thursday in place of Kenta Maeda (hand), instead of assuming Wood's spot Saturday.

Wood is headed to the 15-day DL with elbow soreness, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.

After Monday's outing, Wood reported some lingering triceps soreness, but the team is now labeling it an elbow issue. Top prospect Julio Urias is reportedly coming up to replace Wood, although it's not entirely clear if Urias will slot in Saturday. Urias could start Thursday on normal rest in place of Kenta Maeda (hand) if the Dodgers decide Maeda could use a couple extra days.

DeSclafani (oblique) will make at least one more rehab start, C. Trent Rosecrans of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The right-hander built up to 62 pitches in his second rehab start for Triple-A Louisville on Monday, allowing one run on one hit while striking out seven over four innings. He did not issue a walk. Manager Bryan Price suggested he is keeping the door open for DeSclafani to make his 2016 big-league debut next week against the Cardinals, but DeSclafani will probably need to build up to at least 80 pitches or so in Saturday's outing.

Wood reported Tuesday that he's still battling soreness in his triceps, Andy McCullough of the LA Times reports.

Wood was initially scheduled to pitch last Friday but ultimately had the start pushed to Monday due to soreness in his triceps. The team deemed the issue minor, but the fact that it's still persisting following Monday's outing is reason for some concern. As a result, manager Dave Roberts indicated that he's unsure whether or not Wood will be able to make his next scheduled start Saturday against Atlanta. More information figures to be available in the coming days, but for now consider Wood day-to-day.

Maeda (hand) is considered questionable to make his scheduled start Thursday against the Cubs, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.

X-rays were negative after Maeda was struck by a comebacker Saturday, and the right-hander said afterward that he planned on taking his next turn. However, he's still dealing with some residual swelling three days later, so the team isn't willing to set anything in stone just yet. Julio Urias is Thursday's probable starter for Triple-A Oklahoma City, but he couldn't be brought back yet without the team placing a player on the DL.

Ramirez pitched 0.1 innings in Monday's victory over Colorado, earning his first save of the season.

Picking up a save has been one of the few highlights in what has been an otherwise disappointing season for Ramirez. In 11 innings of action for the month of May, he's given up two home runs and nine runs total, bringing his ERA up to 5.21 for the season. While this isn't out of character for Ramirez, as he has a 6.08 ERA and 1.56 WHIP in his young MLB career, it's still disappointing, for he'd thrown six shutout innings at Triple-A Louisville before being called up on April 22.

Solis has a 1.59 ERA for the month of May after appearing in 10 games to throw 11.1 innings.

Solis is showing signs that he's on the way to becoming the reliever that the Nationals hoped he could be when they drafted him in 2010. His opponent batting average is down to .125 from 2015's mark of .291 and his K/9 has risen by 1.83 to 9.00. With a BB/9 of 5.14, Solis's control is the main part of his game that is questionable. However, most of that damage game from a three game skid where he walked five batters in 5.2 innings. With a 3-year BB/9 average of 1.69, there's plenty of reason to believe that Solis will recover and hold his part as a reliable mid-inning contributor.

Ramirez was claimed off waivers by the Brewers on Tuesday.

DFA'd by the Cubs a week-and-a-half ago, Ramirez will now join the Brewers, adding another right-handed arm to the bullpen. The 27-year-old made eight appearances for Chicago, posting a 4.70 ERA while notching 10 strikeouts and eight walks across 7.2 innings. To clear a spot on the 40-man roster, the Brewers DFA'd infielder Colin Walsh.

Montas (ribs) moved Triple-A Oklahoma City to continue his rehab Sunday, allowing two hits with two strikeouts and no runs over one innings.

That's now 5.2 innings (four appearances) for Montas. He's allowed four hits and a run with one walk and an impressive nine strikeouts. It appears he's been groomed to return in a relief role. A return date has yet to be set.

Teheran struggled with a blister on his right foot that impacted his start Sunday and he'll receive treatment before his next start Friday. "Hopefully we get it right before my next start," Teheran told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution."I don't want to get it before my next start and then keep doing what I was doing [Sunday]."

Teheran gave up three runs in 5.1 innings to take the loss and he said that trying to protect his foot got his mechanics off track. He'll be treated for the injury the next few days and is expected to make his next start Friday, but watch his progress.
