The good news for the Dodgers is that David Price is approaching the point where he’s stretched out enough to handle six innings in a single outing. The bad news is Julio Urias was placed on the injured list Saturday, prompting the team to perhaps arrange for a ‘bullpen game’ in his next starting slot.
At face value, the injury doesn’t seem like a serious one for Urias, who has already logged a career-high 139-2/3 innings, surpassing his previous high of 79-2/3 in 2019. Urias suffered a bruise on his calf after being hit by a pitch on Friday, but his time on the shelf may end up serving more as a rest period as the team gears up for the stretch run of the regular season.
