Julio Urías, Daniel Hudson likely back in two weeks
The Dodgers have finally targeted return dates for starting pitcher Julio Urías and reliever Daniel Hudson.
According to manager Dave Roberts, both pitchers are expected back during the team’s series in Kansas City at the end of this month — putting both of their highly-anticipated returns about two weeks away.
Urías has missed more than a month with a hamstring strain. He is scheduled to face hitters on Tuesday, then will pitch a minor-league rehab assignment game next weekend.
Hudson has yet to pitch this year because of setbacks in his return from a torn ACL last season. However, he has pitched five scoreless innings on a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League, and could soon continue his rehab at the Dodgers triple A Oklahoma City affiliate.
One pitcher who isn’t near a return yet: Noah Syndergaard.
The right-hander was playing catch in the outfield at Dodger Stadium on Sunday morning, the first time he’d been seen throwing since being placed on the IL with a blister earlier this month. When he will ramp up more is unclear, after he posted a 7.16 ERA in 12 starts.
Roberts said whenever Syndergaard returns, it is unlikely to be in the bullpen.
Honeymoon over: Bobby Miller struggles in Dodgers’ blowout loss to Giants
Bobby Miller’s major league honeymoon is officially over.
For him and the Dodgers, Saturday marked a swift crash back to reality.
In a 15-0 loss to the San Francisco Giants, Miller was charged with seven runs in 5⅔ innings, unable to overpower hitters with his fastball, fool them with his breaking pitches or escape high-leverage jams the way he had during his first month in the big leagues.
Instead, after entering the night with a 3-0 record and 0.78 ERA in his first four career starts, the 24-year-old former first-round pick faced his first bout of MLB adversity — giving up four runs in the fifth inning, then being part of a five-run outburst in the sixth.
