Luis Urías's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Seattle Mariners infielder Luis Urias got the start at third base on Sunday in the series finale against the Houston Astros after saying on Saturday night that he was looking forward to getting the chance to play more often against right-handed pitchers. Manager Scott Servais said that could happen more often moving forward. The 26-year-old went 1-for-3 with two RBI on Sunday in the win over Houston, but he's still hitting just .167 (7-for-42) with three home runs, 10 RBI and four runs scored in 20 games in 2024 in his first year in Seattle. Despite the poor average, Urias has been clutch with runners in scoring position, but even with more playing time potentially coming in the near future, he's more of an AL-only asset with the way he's been swinging the bat.

Seattle Mariners infielder Luis Urias (shoulder) is starting at third base and batting seventh in the order for the team's Cactus League game on Tuesday against the Texas Rangers. It's the first time that Urias has played third base in a game this spring as he returns from a bout of right-shoulder soreness. As long as the 26-year-old infielder doesn't have a setback with his shoulder injury, he should be ready for Opening Day on March 28. Urias was once a top prospect for the San Diego Padres, but injuries and poor performance offensively at the big-league level have him running out of chances to secure a regular role in the majors. Urias is off the fantasy radar in mixed leagues and will be hoping to earn a utility role for the M's in 2024.

Seattle 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.

Seattle Mariners third baseman Luis Urias (shoulder) could need to open the 2024 regular season on the injured list due to right-shoulder inflammation. Urias has been throwing from around 70 feet at spring training, but it doesn't sound like he's close to making his Cactus League debut. On top of it, the 26-year-old infielder didn't play well in the Mexican winter league and showed up to camp in less-than-stellar shape. When healthy, the former top prospect of the San Diego Padres will likely be stuck in a platoon role at the hot corner in Seattle with Josh Rojas. Dylan Moore, Sam Haggerty, and Brian Anderson are also options for the Mariners at the position. Already only an option in AL-only fantasy leagues, Urias' stock is dropping even further due to his shoulder injury this spring.

Seattle Mariners infielder Luis Urias (shoulder) came in a couple of weeks ago to the team's spring training facilities and was dealing with some right-shoulder inflammation before being shut down from throwing. However, tests came back good, and he was able to resume work at camp on Monday. The 26-year-old has plenty of time to get ready for Opening Day in late March, although he could be eased into Cactus League play. Once one of the San Diego Padres' top prospects, the Mexican infielder has become more of a Quad-A player, hitting just .234 with 48 home runs in six major-league seasons. Urias slashed just .194/.337/.299 with three homers, 18 RBI and 41 strikeouts in 52 games with the Brewers and Red Sox in 2023 and comes to Seattle as infield depth in 2024.
