Notches fourth steal Urias went 1-for-3 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 5-3 win over Cincinnati.

Impact The 24-year-old hasn't been a huge threat for stolen bases, but he's now 4-for-4 on the basepaths this year. Urias has added 12 home runs, 42 RBI, 41 runs scored and a .243/.332/.431 slash line while often serving as Milwaukee's leadoff hitter lately.

Swats 12th homer Urias went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 5-0 win over the Mets during the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader.

Impact The 24-year-old infielder went yard in both ends of the twin bill, giving him 12 homers on the year. Urias has emerged as a solid contributor for the Brewers, slashing .266/.338/.492 since the beginning of June with seven home runs, 19 RBI and 25 runs through 33 games.

Homers in Game 1 Urias went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a 4-3 loss to the Mets in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader.

Impact Urias took Mets ace Jacob deGrom deep to lead off the first inning. The 24-year-old infielder had gone just 1-for-19 in his previous four games, so it was good to see him end the skid. Urias has 11 homers, 40 RBI, 39 runs scored and three stolen bases through 81 contests.

Sits in series opener Urias is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Urias will get a well-deserved breather Thursday after he ignited the Brewers with a 4-for-5 afternoon in the team's thrilling 15-7 win over the Cubs on Wednesday. Kolten Wong (calf) will check back into the lineup after a four-game absence, so Urias should drop in the order after he filled in at the leadoff spot while Wong was out.

Crackers two homers in four-hit day Urias went 4-for-5 with a pair of home runs, four RBI and three runs scored Wednesday against the Cubs.

Impact Urias destroyed Chicago pitching out of the leadoff spot, blasting a two-run homer in the first inning and a solo shot in the sixth. He also added a double and single for his first four-hit performance of the season. After showing very little offensively in his first three big-league seasons, Urias has broken out in 2021 with a .247/.338/.433 slash line to go with 10 home runs and 39 RBI. He's also swiped three bases in three attempts. Urias racked up an .875 OPS across 102 at-bats during the month of June.

Extends hitting streak to 11 games Urias went 2-for-5 with an RBI and two runs in Monday's victory over the Cubs.

Impact Urias entered the contest with a 10-game hitting streak, and he wasted no time extending that to 11 with a single in his first at-bat. Urias led off Monday with Kolten Wong (calf) down, but he will be bumped down the order a bit when Wong returns to action. Nevertheless, expect him to remain a regular in the lineup, as he has started all but one game in June.

Plates two runs Tuesday Urias went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Tuesday's win over Arizona.

Impact Urias made his presence felt in the top of the sixth inning with a two-run single that scored both Avisail Garcia and Omar Narvaez, and now he has 32 RBI on the season -- the second-best mark on the team behind Avisail Garcia's 41. Urias also extended his hitting streak to six games and owns three multi-hit games in that span.

Moves down in order Urias will start at third base and bat seventh Sunday against the Rockies.

Impact Urias led off and scored three runs in Saturday's 6-5 win, but he'll move down in the batting order with Kolten Wong back in the lineup after a one-game respite. Now that Wong has overcome the oblique injury that sidelined him for two weeks, Urias will likely find himself in the bottom third of the batting order on a more frequent basis.

JUNE 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Homers, steals base Urias went 2-for-2 with a solo homer, a walk, two runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Rockies.

Impact Urias put Milwaukee on the board with a solo shot in the third inning, his eighth long ball of the year. He reached base in each of his four plate appearances and later recorded his third steal of the season after he was hit by a pitch. The 24-year-old infielder is sporting a .755 OPS with 20 extra-base hits and 30 RBI through 234 plate appearances.

JUNE 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Knocks in all three runs in loss Urias went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Thursday's 7-3 loss to Colorado.

Impact Urias accounted for two of Milwaukee's three hits in the contest, and he cleared the bases with a three-run double in the seventh inning. The 24-year-old was in an 0-for-10 rut entering Thursday's game. He's posted a lackluster .223/.326/.396 slash line with seven home runs, 29 RBI, 25 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases across 230 plate appearances this year. With Kolten Wong (oblique) expected to return from the injured list Friday, Urias will likely serve as Milwaukee's full-time third baseman going forward.

Triples, scores twice Urias went 2-for-4 with an RBI triple and two runs scored in Sunday's 5-2 win over Pittsburgh.

Impact Urias scored the game's first run on Daniel Vogelbach's first-inning double. He later knocked an RBI triple and came around to score again in the sixth. The 24-year-old infielder is slashing .231/.330/.412 with 18 extra-base hits and 25 runs scored this season.

Heads to bench Urias is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Urias has been hot at the plate over his last 11 games, hitting .308/.413/.538. He'll get a rest Saturday, with Daniel Robertson starting at second base and Pablo Reyes starting at third.

JUNE 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Holding down leadoff role Urias will start at third base and bat leadoff Thursday against the Reds.

Impact Urias will draw a sixth consecutive start out of the leadoff spot, and he'll likely remain entrenched atop the order for the foreseeable future with Kolten Wong (oblique) not expected to return from the injured list until late June. Since moving into the table-setting role, Urias has reached base at a .364 clip.

Impact Urias is starting at second base and batting leadoff Friday against Arizona, though Counsell noted that he won't necessarily hit atop the order going forward. Nonetheless, the infielder figures to get most of the reps at the keystone until Wong returns from the injured list, which figures to be sometime in late-June at the earliest.

Cranks seventh homer Urias went 1-for-2 with a solo home run Thursday against the Diamondbacks.

Impact He was not in the starting lineup but was forced into action after Kolten Wong suffered an oblique injury. Urias took advantage of the opportunity by cranking a home run in his first plate appearance of the game. He now has seven long balls on the season, including one in each of his last two appearances. If Wong is sidelined for any additional time, Urias is likely to see more regular opportunities.

Belts sixth homer Urias went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-7 loss to the Tigers.

Impact The ball was flying at American Family Field as the two teams combined for nine homers, and Urias got in on the fun with a ninth-inning blast off Gregory Soto, his sixth home run of the year. The infielder has five hits and four RBI in his last three games, and with Travis Shaw mired in a 4-for-40 slump, Urias has become more than just a platoon option against lefties at third base for the Brewers.

Swats fifth homer Urias went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Reds.

Impact His third-inning blast off Sonny Gray got the Brewers on the board. The 23-year-old got the start at second base with Kolten Wong (right arm) sidelined, but the addition of Willy Adames to the Milwaukee lineup will relegate Urias to the bench when everyone is healthy. On the season, he's hitting just .211 with five homers and 20 RBI through 41 games.

Impact Urias has been a regular starter at shortstop this season but has once again failed to make an impression at the plate. The infielder is just 23 years old and had a fair amount of prospect pedigree, but he's yet to produce an OPS of even .700 in any of his four big-league seasons thus far. His .676 mark this season actually represents a career high but is far from good enough to justify everyday at-bats.
