Orioles' Ramon Urias: Back in starting nine Wednesday
Rotowire
Urias (neck) will start at third base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
Urias didn't start either of the Orioles' last two games while managing a stiff neck, but he came off the bench in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to replace Jorge Mateo (arm) and went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. Mateo is out of the lineup Wednesday, so Urias will step back into the starting nine to fill the final spot in the Baltimore infield.

Orioles' Ramon Urias: Not in Tuesday's lineup
Rotowire
Urias (neck) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Miami.
Urias was a late scratch from the Orioles' last lineup Sunday versus the Rangers. He might not have started Tuesday even if he were 100 percent, as Urias has been in a platoon of sorts with Jorge Mateo, starting at third base on days Jordan Westburg is at second. On Tuesday, it will be Westburg at the hot corner and Mateo at the keystone.

Urias hasn't been reported to be dealing with an injury, as he's likely just the odd man out with Baltimore's All-Star shortstop entering the starting nine.

Orioles' Ramon Urias: On base four times in win
Rotowire
Urias went 3-for-4 with a walk, two RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Rangers.
Urias has been steady in a part-time role in July, going 9-for-21 (.429) with seven walks over nine contests this month. For the season, Urias is slashing .247/.319/.387 with four home runs, 14 RBI, 19 runs scored, seven doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over 166 plate appearances. There's typically one spot in the lineup for either Urias or Jorge Mateo on any given day. Both of them are right-handed hitters, so it's unlikely either one carves out a significantly larger role barring an extended hot streak.

Orioles' Ramon Urias: Draws third straight start
Rotowire
Urias will start at third base and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Guardians.
Urias looks to be gaining traction in Baltimore's everyday lineup, as he'll pick up his third straight start Monday and fifth start in six games. The uptick in playing time has corresponded with Urias' surge at the plate; dating back to May 27, he's slashing .293/.349/.517 over a stretch of 19 games. Jorge Mateo looks to be the primary loser from a playing-time perspective from Urias' uptick in starts, as he'll hit the bench Monday for the third time in five games.

Orioles' Ramon Urias: Lifts fourth homer
Rotowire
Urias went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Yankees.
Urias went deep in the fifth inning for his first homer since June 3. The infielder has hit safely in his last six games, going 8-for-23 (.348) in that span. He had to settle for a utility role early in the year, but he's been staking a larger claim with strong hitting in June. For the season, Urias is slashing .252/.298/.421 with four homers, 10 RBI, 15 runs scored and no stolen bases over 114 plate appearances. He may be set for a short-term bump in playing time if Jordan Westburg (hip) has to sit out more games following his injury Tuesday.

Orioles' Ramon Urias: Retreating to bench Thursday
Rotowire
Urias is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.
Urias had started in each of the past four games, but two came while Jorge Mateo was out with a concussion and one came while Jordan Westburg received a rest day. Mateo and Westburg are both in the lineup Thursday and are slated to serve as the Orioles' primary starters at second base and third base, respectively, so Urias' opportunities could become more limited moving forward.
