NEW YORK — Julio Urias‘ first major league call-up was a brief one.

The Dodgers will send the 19-year-old phenom back to Triple-A as early as today, a source confirmed. The news was originally reported by Fanatics Network on Twitter.

Urias lasted only 2 ⅔ innings against the New York Mets in a spot start Friday. He was spared the loss when the Dodgers staged a four-run rally to tie the game in the top of the ninth inning, only to lose on Curtis Granderson‘s solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning. Urias called it the best day of his life; you can relive it all here.

No word yet on who the Dodgers recall to take Urias’ spot on the 25-man roster. They need relief pitchers badly after using five of their seven last night. Workhorse Clayton Kershaw is only scheduled to start once on their 7-game road trip, so the need figures to persist beyond today.
