Ramon Urias Confident He'll Return This Year
3 months agoBaltimore 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.
