Luckily for the Dodgers, the injury does not seem too serious as of now. Reports have stated that he will return after a stint on the 15-day injured list. Hopefully, Urias’ condition does not worsen during that period. Furthermore, the Dodgers have another starting pitcher on the injured list.
Dodgers’ Dustin May suffered an injury during his latest start
The Dodgers seem somewhat cursed when it comes to their pitching rotation. Just days ago Dustin May suffered a flexor pronator strain cutting his latest start short. He was put on the injured list and now, Julio Urias joins him. This will affect the Los Angeles-based team and they will hope for swift recoveries. But only time will tell if that will come true or not.
