Dodgers' Julio Urias: Solid in 2017 debut

Urias held the Giants to one run on four hits over 5.2 innings Thursday. He walked four and struck out four in a 5-1 win.

Analysis:

The Dodgers' prized arm fared well in his first start after being called up Thursday. A wild pickoff throw and four walks were the only blemishes on an otherwise solid pitching line. The 20-year-old was pulled after 90 pitches, a limit he likely won't exceed often due to his age and the club's plan to limit his usage this season. Manager Dave Roberts did say that Urias was here to stay, so he is worth adding in almost any format where he is still available due to his extremely high ceiling. His next turn in the rotation will come against these very same Giants next Wednesday.
