Dodgers Deciding to Call Up No. 2 Overall Prospect

The Los Angeles Dodgers manager, Dave Roberts, is deciding whether or not to call up Julio Urias, the No. 2 overall prospect according to MLBPipeline.com, to try and shore up the teams struggling bullpen.

"We're thinking through a lot of options and Urias is definitely at the top of the list," Roberts told reporters Saturday morning.

The Dodgers are also considering calling up Jose De Leon or Jharel Cotton for the role, however, the team is leaning strongly towards Urias due to their need for another left-handed reliever.

Through his first four starts this season in Triple-A, Urias has been on a tear. The Mexican southpaw owns a 3-1 record with Oklahoma City in 2016, carving out a 1.88 ERA and a 0.78 WHIP while limiting batters to a minuscule .163 average. Urias also has one appearance in relief this season, striking out three over three innings in a 10-2 loss against the Omaha Storm Chasers.

The 19-year-old was signed by the Dodgers organization on August 23, 2012.
