Los Angeles Dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Carl Crawford was designated for assignment Sunday amid a woeful start to the 2016 campaign. 

The Dodgers announced Crawford's demotion and added that they recalled catcher/infielder Austin Barnes from Triple-A Oklahoma City to fill the 34-year-old veteran's place on the MLB roster.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias is reportedly getting another chance at the major league level after a disappointing debut.

Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times wrote Tuesday, “Urias is coming back to the major leagues. Alex Wood is going on the disabled list with elbow soreness.”

There were no beanballs, no ejections and no Chase Utley fireworks in Sunday night's tussle between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias, 19, became only the third teenager in the last 20 years to pitch in a major league game when he stepped on to the mound for the first inning of Friday's eventual 6-5 loss to the New York Mets, per ESPN on Twitter.

The Los Angeles Dodgers will send 19-year-old pitcher Julio Urias down to Triple-A, Fanatics Network reported Saturday. J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group later confirmed the report.

NEW YORK — The kid said it was the best day of his life, the happiest day of his life.

Do you blame him? Julio Urias is 19 years old, he was pitching in a real major league game and everyone was rushing to say how great he's going to be.

Maybe he will be. No matter how bad the numbers were Friday night, when the kid needed 81 pitches to get eight outs and allow three runs, nothing that happened at Citi Field should change anything anyone thinks of him.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are calling up pitcher Julio Urias, and he is expected to make his MLB debut Friday against the New York Mets, the team announced Thursday.   

Even without a career that included six All-Star appearances, four Silver Sluggers and three seasons in which he finished in the top 10 in NL MVP voting, Chase Utley would still forever remain in the baseball lexicon.

Albeit because of one play.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig was removed from the team's 8-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds Tuesday night, and a perceived lack of effort was the reasoning provided by manager Dave Roberts.

Not even the best young ballplayers can escape humility forever. For proof, look no further than the wall Corey Seager hit in his first April as a major leaguer.

But Seager must have gotten his fill of humility, because now he's looking more like the player the Los Angeles Dodgers and everyone else expected him to be.
