Originally Urias was suppose to start vs. the Arizona Diamondbacks, but things have changed.

From Bill Plunkett, OC Register writer:
“Obviously, those opponents are tough,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “They’re some of the best teams in baseball. I know we believe if he (Urias) does what he can do and executes — which he’s been doing better every start — he can get anybody out.
“It’s going to be a great environment, a great atmosphere and we expect he rises to the occasion.”
This will be Urias third start for the Dodgers on the road. This is great news for Dodger fans as the Giants-Dodgers game will be featured nationally on ESPN as part of Sunday Night Baseball.
