Luis Urías Fantasy

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Luis Urias (COVID-19) could return soon to the big league club. Urias who had tested asymptomatic positive for COVID-19 is at the teams training facility in Appleton. Manager Craig Counsell said that Urias is getting close to his return, but that he only has two weeks of baseball activities in. Urias will likely need some more time to shake the rust off. For now, Orlando Arcia will remain at shortstop with Urias breathing down his neck.

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Luis Urias (illness) will be assigned to the team's alternative training site in Appleton, Wisconsin, to begin the season, freelance baseball writer Robert Murray reports. The former top prospect of the Padres has an impressive minor league track record but has struggled in limited major league exposure. He was expected to have a shot at regular playing time for the Brew Crew in 2020, but that will apparently not be the case to begin the year. The Brewers seem content to proceed with Orlando Arcia as their primary option at shortstop, so Urias won't have much fantasy value unless he finds regular playing time, which could prove more difficult in the shortened 60-game season.

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Luis Urias and pitcher Angel Perdomo tested positive for COVID-19 prior to their intake at summer camp and are now in the protocol, according to manager Craig Counsell. Urias is recovered from an injured hamate bone in his hand, but now he'll need to quarantine until he tests negative for the virus. The former top prospect of the Padres has an impressive minor league track record but has struggled in limited major league exposure. He's expected to have a shot at regular playing time for the Brew Crew in 2020 and is a post-hype fantasy sleeper as a middle infielder. The news of his positive test could make him even more of a bargain in drafts. The left-handed Perdomo, 26, had a 4.28 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, 107 strikeouts and 46 walks in 47 relief outings (69 1/3 innings) for Double-A Biloxi and Triple-A San Antonio last year.
