2023 Fantasy Outlook
By ERA, it appears Urias improved on 2021's fine campaign. However, Urias' skills took a small step back, best shown by an 18.1 K-BB percentage mark, down from the 21.1 percent posted the prior season. Urias also yielded more homers last season, but a .229 BABIP and 86.6 percent LOB mark rescued his surface stats, pushing his actual 2.16 ERA well below his 3.71 FIP, 3.81 xFIP and 3.66 SIERA. The Dodgers' defense was no doubt a factor, but Urias also benefited from Lady Luck. Urias' pitch mix again featured a four-seam fastball used a little less than half the time along with a curveball, changeup and occasional sinker. His secondary pitches were just a little less effective in 2022 than in 2021, but the difference can be attributed to variance. Urias deserves points for durability, reliability and team context. Just beware of paying ace prices, as his formulaic projections will peg his ERA closer to last season's estimators. Read Past Outlooks

Skips planned mound session
Urias (hamstring) did not throw off the bullpen mound Saturday as planned, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
ANALYSIS
It's not all bad news as Urias was able to go through a full workout and throw from flat ground Saturday. However, since he did not resume mound work as expected, this could potentially set his return date back a bit. Manager Dave Roberts said earlier this week that he was "hopeful" to have the lefty back in early June against the Yankees when first eligible.

Urias' 20 wins last season were three more than anyone else in MLB, and he got it done by posting a 21.1 K-BB% (eighth in NL) over 185.2 innings (seventh in NL) for a 106-win Dodgers team. The southpaw would go on to add 15 frames in the postseason, allowing four homers but also pitching to a 15:3 K:BB. Two of his four appearances in the playoffs came out of the bullpen, and of course he played hero in relief during the Dodgers' 2020 World Series run, perhaps leaving some lingering questions about his long-term role. It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if he eventually replaced Kenley Jansen in the closer role for the Dodgers, but for the time being Urias will continue on in the rotation. The training wheels are fully off and lefty will still be just 25 years old for most of the 2022 campaign.
