Looks primed for everyday role Urias will start at second base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

Impact Urias looked set to move into a utility role after he was reinstated from the injured list July 13, but he should have a fairly clear path to playing time in the short term after Denzel Clarke (adductor) and Max Muncy (hand) were both deactivated Tuesday. The Athletics will hand Urias his third straight start at second base as they close out their series in Texas.

Back from injured list The Athletics reinstated Urias (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Impact The veteran infielder landed on the shelf in early July due to a hamstring strain, and he'll rejoin the active roster after the 10-day minimum. Urias is on the bench for Sunday's matchup with the Blue Jays, but he should see regular action at second base with Zack Gelof being demoted in a corresponding move.

Lands on injured list The Athletics placed Urias on the 10-day injured list Friday with a right hamstring strain, retroactive to Thursday.

Impact Urias' hamstring forced him to make an early exit from Wednesday's game, and he'll spend at least 10 days on the injured list now that he's been officially diagnosed with a strain. Zack Gelof (ribs) was activated from the 60-day IL in a corresponding move, which means Urias likely won't benefit from regular playing time once he's healthy.

Exits early with hamstring issue Urias went 0-for-2 before being removed in the bottom of the fourth inning of Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Rays due to right hamstring soreness, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Per Gallegos, manager Mark Kotsay said after the game that he doesn't think Urias' hamstring issue is significant enough to warrant a stay on the injured list, but the Athletics will have a better feel for the infielder's status after evaluating him during Thursday's off day. Even if he's able to quickly move past the hamstring injury, Urias' time as an everyday player could soon be over. The Athletics are expected to get second baseman Zack Gelof (ribs) back from the 60-day IL this weekend, and Miguel Andujar (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday and could soon be ready to return from the 10-day IL to reclaim a regular role at third base.
