Urias (hamstring) is beginning a rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Nashville.
Urias will play third base and bat second for the Nashville Sounds in his first live game since he suffered a severe left hamstring strain back on Opening Day. He seems likely to be activated from the 60-day injured list in the early portion of the Brewers' upcoming road trip, which begins May 30 and runs through June 5.

Brewers' Luis Urias: Progressing in running program
Rotowire
Urias (hamstring) progressed to running at 50 percent Sunday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The 25-year-old landed on the shelf April 1 after he suffered a major hamstring strain Opening Day, and he should be nearing the halfway point in his recovery process. Urias will be eligible to be reinstated from the 60-day IL on May 31, though he clearly still has significant work to do in his rehab program.

Brewers' Luis Urias: Transferred to 60-day IL
Rotowire
Urias (hamstring) was transferred Tuesday from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Urias suffered a severe left hamstring strain in the Brewers' season opener March 30 against the Cubs. The initial timeline called for him to miss at least eight weeks, so this is mostly just a procedural move to clear out a 40-man roster spot.

Brewers' Luis Urias: May miss eight weeks
Rotowire
Urias was placed on the injured list Saturday with a hamstring strain which could keep him out for eight weeks, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Urias suffered the injury on Opening Day, and it's evidently a fairly serious one. He's been given a timetable of six-to-eight weeks, with the Brewers expecting him to fall on the latter end of that range. Mike Brosseau will take over at third base Saturday, but Brian Anderson, who starts in right field, could wind up being the primary option against righties. That would open up more at-bats for Brewers outfielders, including Joey Wiemer, who was recalled to take Urias' spot on the roster.

Brewers' Luis Urias: Could head to injured list
Rotowire
Urias (hamstring) could be headed to the injured list, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Urias was removed Thursday with a left hamstring injury, and it has been reported that the Brewers will call up Joey Wiemer before Saturday's game against the Cubs. That would allow the Brewers to move Brian Anderson to third base while Wiemer would likely be the regular in right field. Should Urias be placed on the IL, he wouldn't be eligible to return until April 10, at the earliest.

Brewers' Luis Urias: Draws back into lineup
Rotowire
Urias (head) will start at third base and bat fifth in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks.
Urias had been out of action the past two days after he experienced a bout of dizziness, but he was never diagnosed with a concussion and looks like he'll be good to go after a brief respite. Though he'll be making his first start of the spring at third base, Urias is projected to see most of his action at the keystone in 2023 after seeing five of his six Cactus League starts to date at that position.

Brewers' Luis Urias: Racks up three hits
Rotowire
Urias went 3-for-5 with a double in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Cardinals.
Urias was productive from the No. 7 spot in the order, but he wasn't directly involved in generating runs. The infielder has gone 7-for-17 (.412) over his last five games, but it appears he's lost playing time. Urias now occupies the short side of a platoon, mostly at second base with the occasional look at third. The 25-year-old owns a .229/.329/.394 slash line for the year while adding 15 home runs, 43 RBI, 48 runs scored and a stolen base through 106 contests.

Rotowire
Urias went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Monday's 4-0 win over the Dodgers.
Urias didn't start the contest, but he came into the game as a defensive replacement in the third inning after Mike Brosseau left with a rib cage injury.

The long ball ended an ice cold stretch for Urias in which he had gone 0-for-20 over his past six games.
