With the multi-hit effort, Urias broke free from a 1-for-20 slump over his last six games. He's up to six homers, 26 RBI, 24 runs scored, a stolen base and eight doubles while slashing .262/.338/.398 through 213 plate appearances this year.

Hitless in return Urias (upper leg) went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts in Sunday's 6-2 loss to Boston.

Impact Urias has been dealing with upper leg soreness for a week, as this was just his second start in the last eight games. The infielder played all of Sunday's contest at second base. If he can stay fully healthy, he'll be in a timeshare with Jorge Mateo, Richie Martin and Maikel Franco for playing time at the non-first base infield positions.

Impact Urias has been dealing with soreness in his upper right leg for the past few days.

Injury resurfaces Urias was removed from Wednesday's loss to the Tigers with right upper leg soreness, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Urias was back in the lineup the past couple days after missing two games over the weekend with the injury, and he was pulled from Wednesday's contest after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout. It's unclear if the aggravation will result in a stint on the injured list.

Heads to bench Urias will sit Saturday against the Rays.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
