Luis Urias To Throw On Friday
10 months agoSeattle Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said that infielder Luis Urias (shoulder) is going to start trying to throw in infield drills in camp on Friday, but he'll be limited. The hope is that Urias can be ready for Opening Day in late March. The 26-year-old is being held back in spring training due to right-shoulder inflammation, and he's still no guarantee to be ready by Opening Day. If healthy, Urias will have an opportunity to earn playing time at the hot corner in Seattle, but he hasn't proven to be fantasy relevant in mixed leagues in recent seasons. In his six years in the majors with the Padres, Brewers and Red Sox, Urias holds a .234/.333/.385 slash line with 48 homers, 180 RBI and nine steals in 445 games. He's become somewhat of a Quad-A player that just hasn't gotten over the hump at the highest level.
