Baltimore Orioles infielder
Ramon Urias (hamstring) will return to the starting lineup on Thursday against the New York Yankees. Urias is slated to bat eighth and cover the hot corner. Urias has been sidelined over the past week due to this injury. However, seeing him return to the starting nine quite quickly suggests the injury is not overly serious. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status in case he faces a setback. Last season, Urias appeared in 100 contests in Baltimore. Across this stint, he held a .254/.322/.423 slash line with nine doubles and 11 home runs. He swiped one bag and held a strong 18.3 percent strikeout rate. During the regular season, Urias will likely see time as a depth option in the infield. He could have an increased role early in the campaign if
Gunnar Henderson (intercostal) is unable to play at the start of the season.

Ramon Urias (hamstring) is expected to return to the Grapefruit League lineup on Thursday against the division-rival New York Yankees after an off day on Wednesday, according to manager Brandon Hyde. The 30-year-old veteran has been dealing with some minor hamstring soreness of late but should be ready to go later in the week. If shortstop
Gunnar Henderson (intercostal) is forced to open the year on the injured list, Urias would likely start at second base for the Orioles, with young infielder
Jackson Holliday likely shifting to the 6. If all of Baltimore's infielders are healthy, Urias profiles as a bench player in 2025 who can fill in at second or third base when needed. The Mexican infielder hit .254/.322/.423 with 11 home runs, 37 RBI and 39 runs scored in 100 games in his fifth year with the team in 2024. Given his lack of playing time, Urias is only an option in AL-only leagues.

Baltimore Orioles infielder
Ramon Urias (ankle) was activated off the 10-day injured list on Sunday morning and will bat in the eight spot this afternoon as the Orioles look to claim the rubber match against the Detroit Tigers. Urias has been sidelined since the end of August with a sprained ankle. Fantasy managers should expect him to see the majority of starts at the hot corner during the remainder of the regular season and in October. Before the injury, the 30-year-old posted a .252/.327/.427 line with ten round-trippers and one stolen base. Urias is worth a look as a value play in DFS as the Tigers will have bullpen game this afternoon.

Jordan Westburg (hand) and
Ramon Urias (ankle) will both need multiple minor-league rehab games before returning to the big-league roster, according to manager Brandon Hyde. The skipper said he wouldn't be surprised if Urias comes off the injured list first. Westburg was expected to begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday as he works his way back from a fractured right hand that has kept him out since early August. The 25-year-old took batting practice on Tuesday and could rejoin the club early next week. Westburg is sitting on 18 homers on the year and should be Baltimore's preferred option at the hot corner when he's back, although they could ease him in and have him share playing time with Urias to close out the regular season in September. Urias has been out since late August with a right-ankle sprain.
