One of the biggest questions marks surrounding the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2019 will be what role young left-hander Julio Urias plays in his first full season removed from shoulder surgery.
Urias has looked as strong as ever this spring, allowing just one hit and one run, striking out six and walking one in six innings pitched across three Cactus League starts. His fastball has touched 97 mph, which is faster than he threw before the surgery.
If Clayton Kershaw and Walker Buehler are both healthy and built up enough by the start of the regular season, then there isn’t a spot for Urias in the starting rotation.
