.San Diego Padres second baseman Luis Urias (hamstring), the No. 4 prospect in the organization, pulled his left hamstring on Tuesday and manager Andy Green said it's "doubtful" that Urias returns this year. Urias was called up last month and went 10-for-48 with two home runs in his first taste of big league action. Infielders Corey Spangenberg and Jose Pirela are both options to split time at the keystone in place of Urias to close out the season. Shortstop Freddy Galvis could also slide over to second with Javy Guerra getting a look at shortstop. Urias hit .296/.398/.447 with eight home runs and 45 RBI in 120 games for Triple-A El Paso this year. He should have a shot to compete for the second base job in spring training next year. Urias won't be a stud in the counting stats, but he has great contact skills that should support a strong average at the next level.

.San Diego Padres second baseman Luis Urias was diagnosed with a pulled left hamstring. Urias was helped off the field after hurting himself attempting to leg out a grounder to first. Hamstrings are typically a multi-week injury so it's possible he is done for the season. It's an unfortunately break for the 21-year-old prospect who was slashing .208/.264/.354 with two homers in his first 53 big league plate appearances. There's no real urgency for the Padres to rush him back and Urias should be in prime position to be the Friars starting second baseman in 2019. He remains a worthy stash in dynasty formats.

.San Diego Padres second baseman Luis Urias (leg) exited Tuesday's game with an apparent leg injury. Urias was attempting to beat out a ground ball and pulled up lame before he reached the bag. He was immediately helped off the field, favoring his left hamstring or knee. More should be known after the game. Urias was 1-for-4 on the night and is batting .208 on the year with two homers in 53 plate appearances.

Urias went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Reds.

San Diego Padres second baseman Luis Urias hit his first big league homer in Friday's victory against the Colorado Rockies. Urias provided some insurance for the Friars, taking reliever Jake McGee deep in the eighth inning. The touted prospect has not looked overmatched in his initial cup of coffee, with four hits in his first 15 at-bats (.267 average) with two extra-base hits and one strikeout. With only 17 dingers across his five seasons in the minors, Urias is not known for long balls but developing a power stroke would be a welcome trait for Padres and fantasy owners alike. He should make a fine middle infield option in all leagues the rest of the way.

Urias went 1-for-3 with his first major-league home run and two RBI in Friday's 7-0 win over Colorado.

In his major league debut, San Diego Padres second baseman Luis Urias went hitless in four plate appearances with a walk. Holding a .296/.398/.447 resume from Triple-A El Paso this season, Urias batted second in his first big league game. As MLB's No. 22 prospect and considered one of the Padres most polished young hitters, the 21-year-old will have an opportunity to play every day at the keystone and should also see time at shortstop. While he lacks power upside, his bat control could help owners in average and on-base percentage down the stretch. For dynasty league managers, he's a must-own.

Urias was officially promoted as expected Tuesday.

Urias will be promoted from Triple-A El Paso ahead of Tuesday's game against the Mariners, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

The San Diego Padres will recall second base prospect Luis Urias from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday. The team's No. 4 prospect hit .429/.490/.670 over his final 23 games in the minors and will make his big league debut on Tuesday. He's expected to play every day to close out the year and is also expected to play some shortstop with Freddy Galvis moving to second. While Urias is a pure hitter, he also struck out once every 4.9 plate appearances. He was named the starting second baseman for the All-Pacific Coast League on Monday. Urias is ranked as the No. 22 prospect in all of baseball and should now be owned in all leagues.

Urias went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double and a walk Monday in Triple-A El Paso's 10-3 win over Round Rock.

San Diego Padres middle infield prospect Luis Urias picked up two more hits on Thursday for Triple-A El Paso. Urias, 21, remains one of the better pure hitting prospects and is also a strong defender. Urias is now hitting .266 with six home runs and 21 RBI over 218 at-bats. The Padres currently have Freddy Galvis at shortstop, but it is not much competition to prevent the club from allowing Urias to make his debut this season. Urias should be owned in dynasty leagues but is unlikely to make a strong impact in redraft leagues in 2018.

Urias went 2-for-4 with a double and a walk Monday for Triple-A El Paso in its 6-3 win over Reno.

San Diego Padres second base prospect Luis Urias (leg) is day-to-day after exiting Tuesday's Triple-A game. Urias, baseball's No. 2 second base prospect and 36th overall, is slashing .265/.367/.368 with two homers over 17 games in El Paso. At 20 years old, Urias is considered one of the most polished hitters in the Padres system with excellent bat control and solid defense. Since 2014, Urias holds a 1.09 BB/K in the minors. There's a chance he breaks in with the big league club this year. Current Padres second basemen Carlos Asuaje (.216 average) and Cory Spangenberg (.196) haven't done much to secure a long-term job. With only 11 home runs in over 1,600 plate appearances, Urias doesn't offer much power, but a steady average and on-base percentage could help a Friars squad starving for better plate discipline. Stay tuned.

Urias went 2-for-3 with a home run, two walks, two RBI and three runs Sunday for Triple-A El Paso in its 9-6 win over Las Vegas.

Urias is hitting .313 with a 3:6 K:BB in five games for Triple-A El Paso.

Two top San Diego Padres prospects were reassigned to minor league camp on Tuesday. Baseball's No. 2 ranked shortstop, Fernando Tatis Jr. (No. 8 overall), and No. 2 rated second baseman Luis Urias (36th overall) will continue their development away from the majors. Both youngsters were holding their own in spring training, but the moves were expected. Tatis, 19, was 9-for-32 (.281) with a homer, eight RBI and three steals prior to the demotion. Urias, 20, hit .286 in 28 at-bats with an .858 OPS. It is conceivable both players eventually make their major league debuts this season. With Tatis' departure, third baseman Christian Villanueva should continue getting acclimated to backing up shortstop Freddy Galvis. Urias' absence will magnify the three-way battle at second base between Carlos Asuaje, Cory Spangenberg and Jose Pirela. Manager Andy Green has indicated it is unlikely the Padres will keep both Asuaje and Spangenberg.

San Diego Padres manager Andy Green offered glowing remarks about 20-year-old second baseman Luis Urias on Thursday. San Diego's No. 3 prospect is making a strong case to make the MLB Opening Day roster, pushing incumbents Carlos Asuaje and Cory Spangenberg. While logistics of team control will likely prevent him from making the squad outright, he could be with the big league club by May. Signed from Mexico in 2013, Urias has yet to demonstrate meaningful power but slashed .296/.398/.380, scored 77 runs and posted an impressive BB/K of 1.05 in Double-A last year. Urias is currently 4-for-9 with four doubles and three walks this Spring.
