Urias played 77 games this season with the Baltimore Orioles and was hitting .248 on the season. He has eight home runs and has driven in 34 runs. The right-hander from Sonora, Mexico, was four-for-his last eight before being traded.
He was brought up to MLB in August of 2020. Known mostly as a third baseman, he can play all four infield positions and is noted for his strong defensive ability. Before his time in Major League Baseball, Urias played for the Diablos Rojos del Mexico of the Mexican League. He played there from 2013-17, and slashed .340/.433/.577 with 19 home runs in 106 games.
