I don't follow the Dodgers that closely, but I'm aware that outside Kershaw, their rotation has been suspect. Were they truly desperate for a starter for yesterday's game and brought Urias up because they had no other options or did they expect more than what they got and sent him right back down because he didn't pitch well? Because adding him to the 40-man roster, starting his service clock and likely burning an option year just for a one and done spot start seems like folly to me.
I'm sure there's an expectation that he's not far from coming to the big leagues and staying in the big leagues, but with a 19 year old who has never exceed 90 innings in any professional season, you have to figure he's still at least two years away from being a full time big league contributor, at least as a starter. I'd be concerned that he could experience a set back or two and/or just need minor league seasoning through age 22 or 23, and now they've handcuffed themselves to a degree. And for what?
I can see doing it for an extended look-see when the team is otherwise out of it, like the Sox did last year with Owens, but it seems like there had to be an alternative to rushing Urias to do what he did last night. Kinda headscratching.
