Battling leg soreness Urias is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rays due to upper leg soreness, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Urias was unavailable for Saturday's contest due to the injury, though he's available off the bench Sunday. Richie Martin will make his second straight start at shortstop for the Orioles.

Heads to bench Urias will sit Saturday against the Rays.

Impact Urias sits for just the third time since he was called up back in late June. He owns a .300/.364/.427 slash line in 30 games over that stretch. Jorge Mateo and Richie Martin will be the middle infielders in his absence.

Hits fifth homer Urias went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Monday's 7-1 win over the Yankees.

Impact Urias hit Baltimore's fourth and final homer off Yankees starter Andrew Heaney. The 27-year-old infielder has hit safely in five of his last six games, going 7-for-20 (.350) with a homer and two doubles in that span. He's seen regular playing time at shortstop thanks to a solid .284/.358/.426 slash line through 173 plate appearances this year. With Richie Martin (wrist) activated from the 60-day injured list Monday, Urias will need to continue hitting well to avoid losing playing time.

Gets breather Sunday Urias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Urias will be on the bench for the second Sunday, but the 27-year-old should be locked in as Baltimore's everyday shortstop for the rest of the season after the injured Freddy Galvis (quadriceps) was shipped to Philadelphia ahead of Friday's trade deadline. The promise of steady playing time should keep Urias relevant in AL-only leagues, and perhaps deeper mixed leagues in which fantasy managers are seeking a boost in batting average. Urias enters Sunday's series finale with a robust .283 average on the season, but his contributions in other categories (four runs, 24 RBI, 19 runs and one stolen base in 169 plate appearances) are fairy lean.

Harvey, Severino power Orioles to 4-3 win over Tigers

Matt Harvey extended his shutout streak to 18 1/3 innings and Pedro Severino homered twice as the Baltimore Orioles beat the Detroit Tigers 4-3

JULY 31, 2021 • Associated Press

Takes seat Sunday Urias is not in the lineup Sunday against the Nationals.

Impact Urias started the past 20 games after Freddy Galvis landed on the injured list in late June, and he'll receive a well-deserved day off Sunday. Urias has performed well as the fill-in shortstop, hitting .299/.349/.416 with two homers, 12 RBI and eight runs. Pat Valaika will shift to shortstop while Domingo Leyba starts at the keystone.

JULY 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Swipes bag Friday Urias went 1-for-4 with two RBI, a run, a stolen base and a strikeout in Friday's 6-1 win over the Nationals.

Impact Urias has now recorded hits in each of his last six appearances, and he's plated multiple runs in three of those contests. He stole his first base of the season when he swiped second base in the fourth inning, and he's now gone 8-for-24 with six RBI, two runs, a stolen base, two walks and three strikeouts across the last six games.

JULY 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Plates two in win Urias went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Royals.

Impact Urias kicked off the scoring with a two-run single to right field in the third inning. The 27-year-old has taken full advantage as the Orioles' everyday shortstop duties since Freddy Galvis was placed on the injured list June 27. In 15 games since then, Urias is slashing .328/.381/.483 with two homers, 10 RBI, six runs scored and a 5:11 BB:K. He also has eight games with multiple hits over that span. Urias should have at least another week in that starting role with Galvis' absence expected to be between 1-2 months and is worth a look in deeper mixed leagues or AL-only formats.

Harvey ends his 9-game skid, pitches Orioles past Royals 5-0

Matt Harvey ended his nine-game losing skid with his best performance in years, pitching six crisp innings and sending the Baltimore Orioles over the Kansas City Royals 5-0

JULY 18, 2021 • Associated Press

Plates two in victory Urias went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a walk in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Royals.

Impact Urias drove in DJ Stewart on base hits in back-to-back plate appearances to help Baltimore race out to an early 7-0 lead and eventually put an end to its five-game losing streak. While Freddy Galvis (quadriceps) is on the shelf, Urias should continue to serve as Baltimore's everyday shortstop. Saturday marked Urias' 14th consecutive start at the position.

JULY 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Homers in blowout loss Urias went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 12-1 loss to the White Sox.

Impact The 27-year-old was a bright spot in a dismal loss for the Orioles, recording two of their seven hits and accounting for their only run of the night. Urias has been on a tear of late, hitting .366 with three home runs, eight RBI and just six strikeouts in his last 11 games. On the season, he now boasts a .287/.362/.468 slash line in 105 plate appearances.

JULY 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Reaches base thrice in loss Urias went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Angels.

Impact Urias reached in each of his first three plate appearances with a walk, a single and an RBI double. He would end up scoring during a three-run sixth inning during which the Orioles erased a 4-1 deficit. The 27-year-old is slashing .360/.448/.600 with a homer, five RBI and four runs scored in seven games since being recalled from Triple-A Norfolk and should continue to be a regular fixture in the lineup with Freddy Galvis (quadriceps) out for up to two months.

JULY 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Pops third homer Urias went 2-for-3 with two walks, a two-run home run and two additional runs scored in Tuesday's 13-3 rout of the Astros.

Impact The infielder has actually gone yard twice in his last four big-league games, but there was a three-week stint at Triple-A in the middle of that stretch. On the season, Urias is slashing .265/.359/.456 through 28 contests for the O's with three homers and 12 RBI, and he should get consistent playing time at shortstop while Freddy Galvis (quadriceps) is on the mend.

Guerrero, Biggio lift Blue Jays to 5-2 win over Orioles

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. drove in two runs to raise his major league-leading RBI total to 66, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Baltimore Orioles 5-2

JUNE 27, 2021 • Associated Press

Back with big club Urias was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk prior to Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Urias' call-up comes in the midst of a flurry of roster moves for Baltimore that included shortstop Freddy Galvis (quad) landing on the 10-day IL. Urias is playing shortstop and batting eighth Sunday and could be in line to serve as the primary option at the position with Galvis on the shelf.

JUNE 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down to Triple-A The Orioles optioned Urias to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.

Impact The move was necessary to make room for Mac Sceroler's (shoulder) activation from the injured list. Urias went 2-for-4 with a homer in his only game after being recalled June 4, but that apparently wasn't enough to earn a longer stay with the big-league club. That said, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Urias up with the Orioles again at some point this season. All in all, he's hit .246/.328/.386 for the big club in 2021.

JUNE 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Hits second homer Urias went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, two runs and one strikeout in Sunday's 18-5 win over Cleveland.

Impact Urias joined the starting lineup for the first time since he was called up Friday, and he blasted a solo homer in the eighth inning. He hasn't had consistent playing time this year but is now hitting .246 with two home runs, 10 RBI and 10 runs in 2021.

JUNE 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins big-league club Urias was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

Impact The 27-year-old was demoted to Triple-A in mid-May after posting a .626 OPS through six weeks with the Orioles, and he'll return to the major-league roster Friday. Urias also struggled in the minors with a .191/.269/.277 slash line, and he may be sent back down once Pat Valaika (personal) returns from the bereavement list.

JUNE 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A Urias was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

Impact The O's needed some length behind Adam Plutko on Sunday, so they swapped out Urias for lefty Bruce Zimmermann. Urias surprised with his small-sample performance last season, but he has struggled to a .226/.305/.321 line so far in 2021. He will have to spend at least 10 days in the minors unless he's brought back as an injury replacement.

Chavis, Bogaerts hit home runs, Red Sox beat Orioles 11-6

Michael Chavis homered in his first start of the season, Xander Bogaerts also homered and the Boston Red Sox beat the Baltimore Orioles 11-6

MAY 9, 2021 • Associated Press

Gets fourth straight start Urias will start at second base and bat ninth Sunday against the Athletics, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Urias will remain in the starting nine for the fourth game in a row. The first two of those turns came at shortstop for the injured Freddy Galvis, but he'll get the nod at second base for the second day in a row with the Athletics bringing a lefty (Sean Manaea) to the mound. Since Galvis is healthy again and Rio Ruiz appears locked in as the strong-side platoon option at the keystone, Urias' path to regular playing time still appears blocked.

MAY 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Makes impact in twin bill Urias went 2-for-6 with a home run and three RBI across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mariners.

Impact After popping his first homer of the year, a two-run shot, during a 4-3 loss in the opener, Urias ensured a split for the O's by bringing home Rio Ruiz with a walkoff single in the nightcap. Urias was just 1-for-7 on the season coming into Tuesday and doesn't have much of an offensive resume in the minors, but he should continue to see semi-regular playing time at second base give Baltimore's lack of other options.

APRIL 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Getting little work Urias remains out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Heading into spring training, Urias had been considered a candidate to open the season as the Orioles' primary second baseman, but Baltimore's late signing of Maikel Franco seems to have thwarted those plans. With Franco taking over as the everyday third baseman, Rio Ruiz has since been pushed over to the keystone, where he's emerged as the primary option. Urias will be on the bench Sunday for a seventh time in the Orioles' nine games this season.
