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.

Orioles' Ramon Urias: Drawing fourth straight start
Rotowire
Urias will start at third base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
Urias will stick in the starting nine for the fourth game in a row, but his playing time should begin to trend down after Jorge Mateo returned from the 7-day injured list Tuesday. Though Mateo will occupy the keystone Wednesday, Urias will maintain a spot in the infield since everyday third baseman Jordan Westburg will get a rare day off.

Orioles' Ramon Urias: Hits third homer
Rotowire
Urias hit a solo home run in his lone at-bat in Monday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jays.
Urias started the game on the bench but entered in the seventh inning as a defensive replacement. While he hasn't seen steady playing time, Urias is 6-for-10 with two homers over his last five contests. With Jorge Mateo (concussion) on the injured list, it's likely to be Connor Norby in the lineup regularly, but Urias could feature more frequently off the bench due to his strong defense and versatility. Urias is slashing .239/.289/.394 with three homers, six RBI and 12 runs scored over 76 plate appearances.

Orioles' Ramon Urias: Homers in victory
Rotowire
Urias went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, two total runs and two total RBI in a 6-1 win against Boston on Wednesday.
Urias singled home a run in the second inning and tacked on a solo homer in the seventh. The productive output came in a rare start for the infielder, who was in the lineup for just the third time over the Orioles' past eight games. Urias has struggled to gain traction on offense this season, slashing .219/.265/.344 with two homers, five RBI and 11 runs through 68 plate appearances.
Urias isn't in the Orioles' lineup Saturday against the Reds, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Urias saw an initial uptick in playing time after Jackson Holliday was optioned back to Triple-A Norfolk, but Saturday will mark his third consecutive game taking a backseat to Jordan Westburg. Urias is slashing just .167/.184/.250 across 49 plate appearances this season, and his lack of offensive production has likely caused him to slide down on the Orioles' depth chart.

Orioles' Ramon Urias: Checks out of starting nine
Rotowire
Urias is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.

Jordan Westburg will occupy the hot corner Thursday, opening up a spot at the keystone for Jorge Mateo.
