Still working his way back toward joining the Los Angeles Dodgers, Julio Urias is scheduled to pitch for High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Friday. The affiliate did not reveal if Urias will start or enter out of the bullpen.
Urias formally began his rehab assignment last week with the Arizona League Dodgers. He allowed one hit and collected four strikeouts over 1.2 shutout innings in the start.
The Dodgers have made it clear they intend to utilize the young left-hander as a reliever this season and for potential playoff series. Urias is being stretched out to throw as many as three innings per appearance.
