2021 Fantasy Outlook
Urias will forever be entrenched in the minds of Dodgers fans as the pitcher who earned the World Series save that broke the organization's 32-year championship drought. The outing was a fitting culmination to a dominant playoff run in which the southpaw earned four wins, allowed three earned runs and struck out 29 over 23 innings. Urias wasn't quite as effective in the regular season, but he nonetheless showed plenty of promise with a 3.27 ERA and 1.15 WHIP over 11 appearances (10 starts). His 20.1 K% was well below his career norm, but Urias succeeded by again limiting hard contact and keeping home runs to a minimum (0.82 HR/9 -- a tick above his stellar 0.68 HR/9 career mark). Now fully healthy entering his age-24 season, Urias will have a chance to blossom in the middle of the Los Angeles rotation. If he can build upon his postseason magic, Urias could achieve that long-anticipated breakout. Read Past Outlooks

Ready for bullpen session
Urias will throw a bullpen session Friday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
ANALYSIS
Urias was praised by manager Dave Roberts for his physical conditioning upon arrival at spring training. While that's a common refrain from many managers at this time of the season, it's still encouraging that Urias is on track physically. He's expected to be a member of the Dodgers' rotation, though may have an ongoing competition of sorts with Tony Gonsolin and Dustin May for the role.

The shine of Urias' prospect status has faded, both due to results and his domestic battery situation that led to a suspension last season. He pitched just shy of 80 innings last year, most of them in relief with decent results in a hybrid role, but far from the expectations of him as he rapidly ascended from the minor leagues. The 79.1 innings marked the third-highest total of his pro career, so it is tough to picture him spending a full season in the rotation coming on the heels of an injury in 2018 and his usage in 2019. Still just 23, he has the repertoire to be a quality starting pitcher, but he needs to start building up his innings this year to shed the durability question marks. In 123 career MLB innings as a starter, he has a 3.66 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 125:49 K:BB. That's a pretty fair projection, both the good and the bad, for what will hopefully be his first 100-plus inning season in the majors.
