Urias threw a bullpen session Tuesday that manager Dave Roberts said "went well," and the lefty hurler remains on track to start Thursday against Oakland, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Urias was originally scheduled to start Tuesday in the opening game of a three-game set against the Athletics, but a split fingernail on his pitching hand resulted in that outing being pushed back a few days. Instead, the southpaw tossed a bullpen Tuesday to gauge the status of the nail issue and determine if he'd need to be held out longer. Since the session was a a success, it appears Urias will face Oakland in the final game of the series Thursday in Los Angeles.

Urias will have his next start pushed to Thursday against the Athletics to give a split nail on his pitching hand a couple of extra days to heal, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Urias allowed three runs over six innings last Tuesday against Toronto, but he apparently dealt with a fingernail issue during the outing. The left-hander will have his next start moved back a couple days, with newcomer Lance Lynn starting Tuesday and Tony Gonsolin taking the mound Wednesday.

Urias allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings in a no-decision versus the Blue Jays on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Urias responded to last week's poor outing versus the Orioles with a partial bounce-back against another AL East opponent. While it was far from his sharpest work, Urias was able to earn his third quality start in five outings in July. The southpaw is now at a 4.98 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 77:19 K:BB over 81.1 innings through 15 starts. He's projected for a favorable home start versus the Athletics early next week.

Urias (7-6) took the loss Wednesday, allowing eight runs on eight hits and two walks over five innings against the Orioles. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Urias struggled out of the gate Wednesday, issuing a walk to Anthony Santander with one out in the bottom of the first before surrendering three consecutive singles, which was followed by a two-run double from Ramon Urias. The lefty continued to struggle en route to allowing a career-high eight earned runs on the day. Urias has now given up at least five runs in three of his last five starts, producing two or fewer strikeouts while taking the loss in those three games.

Urias (7-5) picked up the win in Friday's 6-0 victory over the Mets, giving up one hit and one walk over six scoreless innings. He struck out seven.
EDGE Analysis
Facing off with three-time AL Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander, Urias nearly unraveled in the first inning. Brandon Nimmo led off the bottom of the frame with a drive to right-center field that was initially ruled a homer, but upon review it was determined to have hit the top of the padded wall and caromed back into play. Pete Alonso then drew a two-out walk, but Urias shut the door on the rally and proceeded to baffle Mets hitters the rest of the way. The southpaw has tossed back-to-back quality starts on either side of the All-Star break, and while his numbers on the season remain disappointing, Urias could be poised for a big second half. He'll likely next take the mound in Baltimore next week.

Urias (6-5) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out eight over six innings to earn the win Thursday over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Urias gave up five runs over three innings in his return from a hamstring injury, but he was much sharper in his second start back. The southpaw threw 59 of 88 pitches for strikes to pick up a quality start. He's now at a 4.76 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 63:14 K:BB through 64.1 innings over 12 starts this season. He's had a couple of rough patches in the first half, so he'll be looking for a longer stretch of consistently good pitching after the All-Star break.

Urias (5-5) took the loss against Kansas City on Saturday, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two batters over three innings.
EDGE Analysis
Urias' return from a stint on the injured list due to a hamstring injury didn't go well, though part of the issue was bad fortune. Of the four hits he allowed in the first inning, three were bloop singles that left the bat at less than 72 mph. Regardless, the Royals put up five runs in that frame, and Urias' struggles weren't limited to bloopers -- he also issued a walk and hit a batter with a pitch. The southpaw retired five of the final six batters he faced, but he was lifted after 66 pitches since he was on a pitch count following the layoff. Urias will look to bounce back and go deeper into his next start, which is projected to be a home outing against Pittsburgh.

Urias (hamstring) was activated off the injured list Saturday ahead of his scheduled start against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Urias has been out since mid-May with a strained hamstring, but he's good to go after just one rehab start. He wasn't at his best prior to the injury, recording a 4.39 ERA in 10 starts, but his 23.3 percent strikeout rate didn't trail his career 24.3 percent mark by much while his 4.8 percent walk rate is a career best. His 2.28 HR/9 was the main problem, but if he can keep the ball in the yard going forward, he could get back to his old self.

Urias (hamstring) is set to return to the Dodgers' rotation Saturday in Kansas City, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Urias felt good after his lone minor-league rehab start Sunday with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga, during which he tallied eight strikeouts across four innings of one-run ball. He only threw 60 pitches in the outing, so there may be a limit to how far he can go against the Royals, but it's a highly favorable fantasy matchup nonetheless. The 26-year-old left-hander has been on the injured list since May 20 due to a hamstring strain.

Urias (hamstring) completed four innings in a rehab start with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out eight batters.
EDGE Analysis
Urias tossed 60 pitches (46 strikes) in the outing, which was his first game action since being placed on the injured list May 20. The southpaw isn't expected to need another rehab appearance and is on track to return to the big-league rotation Friday in Kansas City, per Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times. Given his long layoff and his pitch count Sunday, Urias will likely be on a pitch limit in his first game back.
