Ramon Urias Could Return Next Week
Ramon Urias (hamstring) is progressing well and could return from the 10-day injured list next Tuesday or Wednesday, according to manager Brandon Hyde. The Orioles placed Urias on the IL last Saturday with a strained right hamstring. It was bad timing for Urias with Jordan Westburg (hamstring) already on the IL. Now that the Orioles have sent prospect Coby Mayo back to the minors, Emmanuel Rivera is Baltimore's primary third baseman until one of Urias or Westburg return. The 30-year-old Urias was hitting a strong .292 (21-for-72) at the time of his injury, but it came with only two home runs, nine RBI and five runs scored in a utility infield role. Even if he's in a full-time role at third in the short-term when he comes off the IL, Urias is really only attractive in AL-only leagues due to his limited power and speed.
