Baltimore Orioles running back Ramon Urias (ankle) is progressing with his sprained right ankle but has yet to resume baseball activities. However, Urias is confident that he can play before the regular season ends at the end of September. The 30-year-old veteran infielder suffered a sprained ankle on Aug. 31 and landed on the 10-day injured list. With Jordan Westburg (hand) still also on the IL, the Orioles have been forced to mix and match at the hot corner with rookie Coby Mayo, Emmanuel Rivera and Nick Maton. Mayo has the most upside of the trio as one of the team's top prospects, but he's struggled in his first 23 big-league at-bats with just two hits, three runs scored, three walks and 13 strikeouts in nine games played entering Friday. Depending on when Westburg returns, Urias could become the top option at the hot corner if he returns before the postseason.

Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that infielder Ramon Urias (ankle) is still on crutches for his sprained ankle and there's no timetable for his return from the 10-day injured list. "I don't know how long that's going to be. A sprained ankle could be two to four weeks. Who knows?" Hyde said. Basically, Urias isn't guaranteed to return from the IL before the end of the regular season in September. The 30-year-old veteran sprained his right ankle against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on Saturday and was put on the IL on Sunday. At least until Jordan Westburg (hand) returns from his own IL stint, the Orioles are moving forward with top prospect Coby Mayo at the hot corner, with Emmanuel Rivera also seeing some time there. It's bad timing for Urias, who had gone 8-for-25 (.320) with two homers, a double, triple, eight RBI and a steal in his last eight games dating back to Aug. 23.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Ramon Urias (ankle) was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier on Sunday with a right ankle sprain. In a corresponding move, the Orioles promoted their top third base prospect, Coby Mayo, from Triple-A Norfolk. Urias suffered this injury during Saturday's game and will now sit out for at least the next ten games. Fantasy managers should expect Mayo to see most staring opportunities at the hot corner while Urias remains out. Before the injury, Urias was carrying a strong .320 AVG across his previous eight games. Even though Mayo struggled through his first taste of the major leagues earlier in August, he should be rostered in all formats going forward, given the elite power potential he has shown at Triple-A this summer.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/designated hitter Ryan O'Hearn and third baseman Ramon Urias are both out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the visiting Washington Nationals at Camden Yards. Eloy Jimenez is serving as the designated hitter and is batting sixth, while rookie Coby Mayo is at the hot corner and is hitting eighth against rookie left-hander DJ Herz. Since being acquired from the Chicago White Sox at the trade deadline at the end of July, Jimenez has gone 12-for-25 (.480) with two doubles and four RBI in nine games for the O's. Mayo, who is Baltimore's No. 2 prospect per MLB Pipeline, is still searching for his first major-league hit through six games. He has struck out in 10 of his first 17 plate appearances and hasn't taken advantage of Jordan Westburg's (hand) injury while taking a back seat to the veteran Urias.

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Ramon Urias (neck) was held out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. It sounds like the plan was for Urias to start but he was scratched due to neck soreness. This shouldn't be the type of issue that holds Urias out of the lineup for too long. O's manager Brandon Hyde said the original plan was to give Gunnar Henderson the day off. However, Hyde needed Henderson to play on Sunday with Urias being unavailable. Fantasy managers will have to check back ahead of their next game to see if Urias is able to return.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Ramon Urias (illness) has been scratched from Friday's starting lineup versus the Boston Red Sox. Both Urias and catcher Adley Rutschman will hit the bench with an illness on Friday. Possibly, the two of them partied too hard after clinching the AL East division on Thursday. Regardless, it sounds like a minor issue, so both players should return within the next few days. In his absence, Jordan Westburg will cover third base and bat sixth versus right-hander Nick Pivetta on Friday.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Ramon Urias (heel) is back in the starting lineup on Thursday, starting at third base and batting eighth in the order against the Houston Astros and right-hander Hunter Brown. Urias sat out on Wednesday after he was removed from Tuesday's game early due to left-heel soreness. It was a minor injury, though, and the 29-year-old is back in action for the O's. He's hitting a very modest .256 (68-for-266) with only four home runs, 35 RBI, three stolen bases and 33 runs scored in his 81 games played this year. However, Urias has picked things up since July 24, going 11-for-39 (.282) with two doubles, a triple, two RBI and three runs scored in 11 starts. He'll be looking to extend his current hitting streak to five games on Thursday.

Baltimore Orioles utility infielder Ramon Urias (heel) left Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Astros early with left heel discomfort, per The Baltimore Sun's Jacob Calvin Meyer. Urias had gone 1-for-3 with a triple before being removed for Adam Frazier. It is unknown how severe his injury is, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day until they hear more. Urias has played an important role for the O's defensively, although he has slashed just .256/.323/.387, limiting his fantasy value.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Ramon Urias (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday. The 28-year-old has been sidelined most of the month due to a lingering hamstring strain. Before that, Urias was slashing .278/.375/.381 with a home run, 16 RBI in 27 games. It's uncertain if he's in Friday's lineup for their matchup with the Texas Rangers. Regardless, Urias appears ready to return to his utility infielder role. In a corresponding move, infielder Joey Ortiz has been optioned to Triple-A Norfolk.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Ramon Urias (hamstring) aims to return from the injured list on Saturday. He has been sidelined since May 8 due to a left hamstring strain. The 28-year-old is currently in a rehab assignment with High-A Aberdeen. He started as the team's designated hitter and went 0-for-2 with three walks, two strikeouts, and two runs scored. Urias is slashing .278/.375/.381 with a home run, 16 RBI, 12 runs, and two stolen bases over 30 games for the Orioles in 2023. Urias serves as Baltimore's utility infielder and is mainly worth rostering in deep-league or AL-Only formats.

According to Orioles skipper Brandon Hyde, infielder Ramon Urias (hamstring) traveled with the team to Toronto. Additionally, Urias hit pregame on Saturday and is set to do some light base running on Sunday. The 28-year-old is on the 10-day injured list because of a left hamstring strain. However, it sounds like he's moving in the right direction, especially since there's word he might return for the upcoming homestand versus the Texas Rangers beginning on May 26. In the meantime, fantasy managers should remain optimistic and keep Uras stashed on the roster.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Ramon Urias (hamstring) was in the batting cage, according to manager Brandon Hyde, and is "much improved." The 28-year-old hit the injured list on May 9 with a hamstring issue and was initially expected to be out for two to three weeks. It sounds like he's progressing nicely so Baltimore should expect him back before the end of the month if he doesn't suffer any setbacks.

The Baltimore Orioles placed infielder Ramon Urias (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a left-hamstring strain. In corresponding moves, the Orioles recalled left-hander Drew Rom, infielder/outfielder Ryan O'Hearn and infielder Terrin Vavra from Triple-A Norfolk, optioned left-hander Keegan Akin to Norfolk and designated catcher Luis Torrens for assignment. Urias strained his hamstring in Monday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays and will now miss some time. The 28-year-old was hitting .278 (27-for-97) with seven doubles, one home run, 16 RBI and two stolen bases in 30 games before his injury. Urias had been sharing time at the hot corner in Baltimore with youngster Gunnar Henderson.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Ramon Urias (hamstring) exited Monday's 3-0 loss to the Rays in the ninth inning with a left hamstring strain. Urias walked off the field after hitting a single. Manager Brandon Hyde said the 28-year-old would be re-evaluated Tuesday to access the severity of the strain. Hopefully, Urias will be able to avoid a trip to the injured list, as he has started picking things up at the plate. He has slashed .278/.375/.381 with one home run, 16 RBI, and two stolen bases in 112 plate appearances this season.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Ramon Urias (concussion), who was hit in the helmet by a 96.2 mph sinker on Saturday, cleared concussion protocol and was available to come off the bench in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Nationals, said manager Brandon Hyde. While he did not play, it is good news that he was ready to get back into the lineup. The 28-year-old has slashed .250/.388/.400 with one home run and four RBI in 49 plate appearances. While he is not an exciting fantasy option, his multi-position eligibility makes him worth a look in deep leagues with middle and corner infield roster spots.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Ramon Urias (head) was removed early during Saturday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Urias was taken out after getting hit in the head by a pitch. He was hit by a 96 mph fastball, which is obviously always a scary moment. Luckily, Urias was able to get up and walk off the field under his own power. Hopefully, he avoided any serious injuries from this incident. The Orioles will likely offer an update following the contest.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Ramon Urias (thumb) was scratched from the lineup for the second day in a row with a bruised thumb. Urias was in line to start Thursday and Friday's games but was withheld from both because of the thumb issue. The 28-year-old has some pop in his bat, hitting 16 home runs in 118 games last season, but he's not guaranteed an everyday position with the O's. He should be switching between second base and third base so he has some flexibility, it's just a matter of how much he plays.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Ramon Urias (thumb) is back in the lineup for Friday's contest. The 28-year-old was scratched ahead of Thursday's game due to a right thumb contusion. He took a grounder off his thumb, but the team was calling the injury day-to-day. It appears they were right with Urias returning on Friday. Fantasy managers shouldn't have anything to worry about with Urias. His fantasy value is likely going to be determined on how much he ends up playing this season. He's probably more of a wait-and-see kind of player.

Baltimore Orioles infielder Ramon Urias announced on his personal Instagram Friday that, while he has fully healed from the sprained right knee he sustained at the end of the 2022 season, he will not participate in the World Baseball Classic for the Mexican team this spring. The Gold Glove winner posted a .248/.305/.4141 slash line with 16 home runs and 51 RBI in 445 plate appearances in 2022 while playing second base, third base, and shortstop. The O's have a number of infield candidates entering the season, so Urias will have a battle on his hands during spring training. His playing time and role will ultimately determine his potential fantasy value.

The Baltimore Orioles placed infielder Ramon Urias (knee) on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a right knee sprain. The Orioles also recalled left-hander Keegan Akin, infielder Tyler Nevin and right-hander Beau Sulser from Triple-A Norfolk and optioned right-hander Joey Krehbiel and right-hander Jake Reed to Norfolk. Urias had three hits and fell just short of hitting for the cycle on Tuesday, but he also injured his knee in the process and won't play again in 2022. The 28-year-old utility infielder will wrap up his third season in the big leagues with a .248/.305/.414 slash line and career-highs in home runs (16), RBI (51) and runs scored (50) in 445 plate appearances over 118 games played.
