Atlanta looks to increase lead to three games in NLCS versus Los Angeles
The Braves will take a 2-0 series lead into Game 3 of the NLCSOCTOBER 14, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Named Game 3 starter Urias will start Game 3 of the NLCS against Atlanta on Wednesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Impact The Dodgers had to alter their plans after Clayton Kershaw was scratched from his scheduled Game 2 start due to back spasms. Tony Gonsolin will handle that game, with Urias lined up for Game 3. Kershaw may be ready to pitch by Game 4, though the Dodgers have yet to announce their plans for him. Urias has struck out 11 and walked just one in eight scoreless innings of relief so far this postseason.

Impact Dustin May was announced as the starter but was only asked to throw one inning before turning it over to Adam Kolarek, who in turn handed off to Urias just two outs later. The young lefty was excellent, with an error and a balk combining to allow the Padres to score their only run during his five frames. Urias has now thrown eight innings without allowing a single earned run this postseason.

Picks up win in relief Urias tossed three scoreless innings of relief while allowing three hits and striking out five against the Brewers in Wednesday's Game 1 win. He picked up the win.
Impact Walker Buehler was pulled after four innings, so Urias came on and was the pitcher of record in the 4-2 series-opening victory. He needed 52 pitches to get through the three frames, but he was in control throughout. Given the Dodgers' pitching depth, Urias probably won't be used again until the second round.

Fans five in no-decision Urias took a no-decision during Wednesday's loss to the A's, giving up one run on two hits and a pair of walks while striking out five across six innings.
Impact Serving as the bulk reliever behind Joe Kelly and Brusdal Graterol, Urias entered the game in the third inning and turned in a solid six frames. His only damage of the night came via an RBI single by Ramon Laureano in the seventh. Although the southpaw's role for the postseason has yet to be determined, it would appear as though Dave Roberts could be planning to use him out of the bullpen during the playoffs. The 24-year-old closes out the regular season with a 3.27 ERA and 1.15 WHIP across 11 appearances (10 starts).

Won't start Wednesday Urias won't start Wednesday against the Athletics but will pitch in a bulk role as a reliever, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact Joe Kelly will start in Urias' place Wednesday as manager Dave Roberts wants to try him out of the bullpen in preparation for the postseason, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports. Urias' role for the postseason hasn't yet been defined, but Roberts' desire to test him out of the bullpen suggests that he could work as a reliever during the playoffs.
SEPTEMBER 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Postseason role uncertain Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated Tuesday that he is not sure of the role Urias will play in the postseason, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
Impact Urias has started in each of his 10 appearances this season, posting a 3.49 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 40:16 K:BB while winning three games. Those numbers are certainly respectable, but the emergence of rookies Tony Gonsolin and Dustin May along with the looming return of Walker Buehler (finger) may push Urias out of a postseason rotation spot. There is also concern about Urias' first-inning struggles this season; he has posted a 9.00 in the first frame through his 10 starts while registering a 1.85 ERA over his remaining 39 innings.

Posts no-decision Urias did not factor into the decision during Thursday's win over the Rockies, allowing two runs on three hits while striking out two across 5.1 innings.
Impact Overall it was a solid performance for Urias at Coors Field. After giving up a pair of runs in the first inning, the southpaw settled into a steady groove, quieting Colorado's bats the rest of the way. Urias left the game with the score tied, 2-2, so he was not credited with the win. The 24-year-old will bring a 3.49 ERA and 1.20 WHIP into Wednesday's contest against Oakland.

Impressive in no-decision Urias pitched six innings against the Astros on Saturday, allowing one run on three hits and four walks while striking out three. He did not factor in the decision.
Impact Urias was wild in the outing, allowing a season-high four walks in six innings. He was otherwise excellent, however, yielding only three hits and limiting Houston to a single run. The quality start was the left-hander's third of the season and the second in his last three outings. He departed in line for a win but had to settle for a no-decision after Houston staged an improbable comeback in the ninth inning. Urias will carry a 3.53 ERA and 1.29 WHIP into his next start, currently scheduled for Thursday at Colorado.

Set for Saturday start Urias will start Saturday's game against the Astros, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact The southpaw is coming off a shaky outing in which he allowed four runs over 4.1 innings against the Rockies, so he will certainly be looking to work deeper into the game Saturday against Houston. The 24-year-old is 3-0 with a 3.86 ERA to go along with 35 strikeouts on the campaign.

Whiffs six in no-decision Urias yielded four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six over 4.1 innings in a no-decision Sunday versus the Rockies.
Impact Urias gave up a two-run homer to Josh Fuentes in the second inning, and then he got into trouble in the fifth before Dylan Floro replaced him. It was a rare misstep for Urias this season, who has a 3.86 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 35:12 K:BB across 37.1 innings. The 24-year-old is expected to start next Sunday versus the Astros.

Earns win with six strong innings Urias (3-0) allowed one run on four hits and struck out five over six innings in a win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
Impact The only damage on Urias' line was a solo home run by Carson Kelly in the third inning. The other three hits he allowed were singles. Tuesday also marked the second time in seven starts Urias didn't walk a batter. The 24-year-old southpaw has a 3.27 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 29 strikeouts through 33 innings this season. He lines up for a home start versus the Rockies on Sunday.

Impact Urias was scheduled to start Sunday's series finale against Texas, but the Dodgers have decided to go with Tony Gonsolin on Sunday instead. Urias will open the series against Arizona when the Dodgers return home Tuesday.
