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

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.
