The Dodgers had hoped to activate Urias from the injured list this weekend, but he felt tightness in his injured hamstring during a bullpen session on Thursday.
PHILADELPHIA — Help is not on the way after all.
Urias threw a live batting practice session on Tuesday and “felt okay” afterward, according to Roberts. But the hamstring tightened up on him during his bullpen session Thursday. Urias will continue throwing on flat ground to keep his arm active. But he won’t try throwing off a mound again until “I would assume some time next week,” Roberts said.
Sunday will very likely be a ‘bullpen game’ with a pitcher expected to join the Dodgers in Philadelphia and be placed on the taxi squad until then. Right-handers Andre Jackson and Matt Andriese would be the leading candidates to make the trip from OKC. Jackson started Thursday but threw just 10 pitches in his one inning. A former major leaguer who hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2021, Andriese is 4-2 with a 4.45 ERA in 11 starts for OKC.
Hazy conditions continued Friday but the air quality had improved in the area. Nonetheless, the Dodgers did not take batting practice on the field before Friday’s game at Citizens Bank Park, limiting their on-field work.
