Friday was Urias' second three-RBI performance over his last six games and his third multi-RBI game this month. He continues to improve at the plate and is slashing .250/.340/.442 with 46 extra-base hits, 68 RBI, 72 runs scored, five steals and 55:107 BB:K over 519 plate appearances.

Hits go-ahead homer Urias went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and an additional run scored in Friday's 10-3 win over Cleveland.

Impact The 24-year-old committed two errors in the first inning, which contributed to Cleveland taking an early lead. Urias made up for it with his fourth-inning go-ahead blast, and he scored again on a Lorenzo Cain grand slam in the fifth. Through his last 11 games, Urias is 13-for-39 (.333) with three long balls, three doubles, seven RBI and seven runs scored. The infielder's surge has lifted his season slash line to .251/.340/.452 with 20 homers, 64 RBI, 70 runs scored and five stolen bases in 499 plate appearances.

The 24-year-old is slashing .252/.338/.451 with 19 home runs, 62 RBI, 67 runs and five stolen bases in 477 plate appearances and is working on a six-game hitting streak.

Not in Tuesday's lineup Urias is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Giants.

Impact The 24-year-old started the past 11 games -- the last six of which came at shortstop -- and will head to the bench Tuesday with Willy Adames (quadriceps) returning to action. Urias should see most of his playing time at third base until Eduardo Escobar (hamstring) returns from the injured list, though Jace Peterson is starting at the hot corner Tuesday.

Homers Sunday Urias went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Twins.

Impact Urias opened up the scoring for the Brewers with a solo home run to left in the second inning. It was his second homer over his last four games and he's managed a hit in nine of his last 12 games. Urias is slashing .244/.334/.440 with 18 long balls, 58 RBI, 64 runs scored, five steals and 48:94 BB:K over 456 plate appearances and figures to hold a near everyday role for at least the next week while Eduardo Escobar (hamstring) remains out.

Everyday role reopens Urias will start at shortstop and bat sixth Wednesday against the Reds.

Impact Though he'll be filling in at shortstop while Willy Adames (quadriceps) is day-to-day, Urias should have a line on a regular role at third base after Eduardo Escobar was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right hamstring injury that will likely keep him on the shelf for approximately two weeks. Urias picked up a start at the hot corner in Tuesday's 7-4 win and went 1-for-4 with a single, extending his hitting streak to five games.

Homers twice in five-hit day Urias went 5-for-6 with two home runs, three doubles, five RBI and five runs scored in Thursday's win over the Cubs.

Impact Several Brewers made a huge impact offensively during Thursday's win, but none matched Urias' output. All five of his hits went for extra bases, and as if that wasn't enough, he was directly involved in 10 of the team's 17 runs as part of one of the best individual offensive displays of the entire MLB season. The shortstop extended his hitting streak to five games as well and is hitting an impressive .440 with a 1.422 OPS through 25 at-bats this month. Even though those numbers are unsustainable in the long run, there's no question he's been one of the hottest bats in the National League over the past few weeks.

Connects for 14th homer Urias provided a two-run, pinch-hit home run in Saturday's loss to San Francisco.

Impact Urias was summoned from the bench in the 10th inning and took Jarlin Garcia deep to center field to pull the Brewers to within 5-4. It was the 14th homer of the season for Urias, who's been converted to more of a utility role following the trade-deadline acquisition of Eduardo Escobar. Saturday's homer was Urias' first since July 16 and snapped a 4-for-35 (.114) skid that had spanned his previous 14 games.

Not starting Monday Urias is out of the lineup Monday against the Pirates.

Impact The acquisition of Eduardo Escobar ahead of the trade deadline makes it a crowded infield in Milwaukee, and Urias was always likely to be the odd man out with Willy Adames and Kolton Wong providing top-level offense and defense up the middle. Urias should still see regular playing time as a utility infielder given his solid .236/.334/.414 slash line, but his time as the Brewers' everyday starter at third base has come to an end as long as the rest of the infield stays healthy.

Pops 13th homer Urias went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Friday's 11-6 win over the Reds.

Impact He took Josh Osich deep in the eighth inning as the Brewers pulled away. Urias finally appears to be making good on his prospect pedigree -- over the last month, the 24-year-old is slashing .283/.349/.515 through 24 games with six of his 13 homers on the season.
