GLENDALE, Ariz. — Julio Urias, the top pitching prospect in the Dodgers’ system and a consensus top-10 prospect in Major League Baseball, threw one inning out of the bullpen and part of another against the Angels in his Cactus League debut.

Urias had been slowed by a groin injury earlier in camp and was limited to around 40 pitches Friday. His fastball was clocked in the 92-97 mph range in the first inning, when he struck out the side. But Urias lost command of his best pitch in his second inning, when the Angels touched him for three earned runs on three hits.

“I felt happy that my groin felt well and my arm felt well,” he said through an interpreter. “Good velocity, so all in all I feel comfortable.”

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts maintains that Urias, 19, is a candidate to win the fifth starter’s job out of camp. After he was set back by the groin injury, the Dodgers decided to keep Urias in Arizona rather than allow him to represent Mexico in a World Baseball Classic qualifier next week in Mexicali.

Urias is on an innings limit that is still to be determined by the team. He threw 80 ⅓ innings across four levels last season, plus another 2 innings in Cactus League games.

“The ball is coming out of his hand really well,” Roberts said. “He was excited (in the second inning) and he was trying to stay down in the zone, but he elevated too much and (the Angels) made him pay.”

For those of you keeping score at home, Urias was the losing pitcher in the Angels’ 8-4 win. The box score is here.
