Luis Urías Fantasy Stats

Athletics infielder Luis Urias (back) has returned to second base and will hit eighth in Thursday's series finale in D.C. against the Washington Nationals and left-hander Mitchell Parker. Urias was pulled from Sunday's game with lower-back issues and missed the next two games. The 28-year-old is back now, though, with Max Schuemann moving to third base and batting out of the No. 9 hole. Urias hasn't been much to look at from a fantasy perspective this year, slashing .234/.322/.355 with a below-average .677 OPS, only eight home runs, 20 RBI, 25 runs scored and two stolen bases in 256 at-bats. Since the beginning of July, he's gone 7-for-35 (.200) with a homer, two RBI, three runs scored, five walks and four strikeouts in 14 games played. Urias should be avoided for DFS purposes against Parker, who he has never faced.

Athletics infielder Luis Urias (back) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the hosting Washington Nationals in D.C. Max Schuemann will make another start at second base and will hit ninth against Nationals right-hander Cade Cavalli, who will be making his first major-league start since 2022. Urias has been out since suffering from lower-back spasms when he was pulled from Sunday's game early. The 28-year-old Mexican is day-to-day for now but could be a candidate to land on the injured list if he doesn't recover quickly. He has not been relevant in mixed fantasy leagues in 2025 with a .234/.322/.355 slash line, .677 OPS, only eight home runs, 20 RBI and 25 runs scored in 83 games played. Schuemann will also be a DFS sleeper to avoid on Wednesday in the nine-hole for the A's.

Athletics infielder Luis Urias (back) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game in Washington against the Nationals after he had to leave Sunday's series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks early with lower-back spasms. It's not a great sign that Urias isn't in there after the team had a day off on Monday, but he'll be considered day-to-day for now. Max Schuemann is starting at the keystone and is batting ninth for the A's against Nationals left-hander MacKenzie Gore. Gio Urshela is at third and is in the eight-hole. Fantasy managers setting DFS lineups will probably want to avoid both Schuemann and Urshela everywhere. Urshela is hitting .167 in his six career at-bats against Gore, while Schuemann has gone hitless against the tough lefty in just two at-bats.

Athletics third baseman Luis Urias (back) was forced to make an early exit from Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Urias never got a chance to take an at-bat as he was pulled out in the second inning due to back spasms. There is no word on the severity yet, so fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Max Schuemann moved over to second base in his place. Schuemann could see a few more games over at second if Urias misses a couple of games.

The Athletics have activated infielder Luis Urias (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list before their contest on Sunday against the Toronto Blue Jays. In a corresponding move, the Athletics optioned second baseman Zack Gelof to Triple-A Las Vegas. Urias suffered this injury on July 2 but was able to make a quick return to the starting nine. Before his injury, Urias was carrying a .227/.244/.227 line with just 10 total hits (all singles) across his last 12 games. Gelof made his season debut earlier in July but has posted an underwhelming .080/.143/.080 line with a .223 OPS through eight games. Fantasy managers should expect Urias to see most of the opportunities at the keystone during the second half. With Urias returning, this could also limit Max Muncy's starting opportunities as well.

The Athletics reinstated second baseman Zack Gelof (ribs) from the 60-day injured list on Friday and placed infielder Luis Urias (hamstring) on the 10-day IL (retroactive to July 3) with a right-hamstring strain in a corresponding move, according to the team. Gelof will immediately start at second base and hit eighth in his 2025 debut in Friday's series opener against the visiting San Francisco Giants and right-hander Justin Verlander. He fractured the hamate bone in his hand in spring training and then dealt with a stress reaction in his ribs, but Gelof should now serve as the team's starting second baseman the rest of the way. While the 25-year-old is a work in progress, he's worthy of a waiver-wire pickup in mixed fantasy leagues for his power/speed profile. He hit 17 homers and stole 25 bags in 138 games last year but also led the league with 188 strikeouts.

Athletics infielder Luis Urias (hamstring) left Wednesday's loss to the Tampa Bay Rays early with right-hamstring soreness, according to the team. Before leaving the contest early, Urias went 0-for-2 at the plate and was replaced at second base by Max Schuemann, who slid over from shortstop. Max Muncy shifted from third base to the 6, while Gio Urshela entered the game to play third base. The A's don't think Urias' injury will warrant a trip to the injured list, but that could change if the 28-year-old isn't back on Friday for the series opener against the San Francisco Giants after an off day on Thursday. Even if Urias avoids the IL heading into the All-Star break, he's likely to become more of a bench player with both Zack Gelof (ribs) and Miguel Andujar (oblique) nearing their returns. Urias came into Wednesday hitting .241 (54-for-224) with seven home runs, 18 RBI, 22 runs and two steals.

Athletics infielder Luis Urias is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Houston Astros. This appears to be a routine rest day for Urias who has started in seven straight games. During that span, Urias has recorded at least one hit in six of those seven contests. His fantasy value hasn't been great this season, but at least Urias is heating up with the bat. Despite some success, Urias still doesn't bring enough to the table to warrant rostering in most fantasy formats. Max Schuemann will cover second base and bat ninth versus right-hander Ryan Gusto on Monday.

Athletics second baseman Luis Urias went 1-for-3 with a walk and a walk-off two-run home run in Sunday's 3-2 extra-innings win over the White Sox. It was the second consecutive game with a home run for the 27-year-old and the fourth straight game with a hit. Urias has taken over as the regular second baseman ever since Max Muncy was optioned on April 23 and has been making the most of his opportunities. For the season, the right-handed hitter is slashing .275/.348/.575 with four home runs and a 5:6 BB:K in 47 plate appearances. He'll get a chance to keep rolling on Monday as the A's take on the Rangers' Patrick Corbin, whom Urias is 5-for-13 off of lifetime, including one home run. Urias is usually a cheap DFS option and should be under consideration while he's hitting well.

The Athletics announced on Monday that they agreed to terms with free-agent infielder Luis Urias on an undisclosed one-year deal for the 2025 season. Urias will head to the Athletics after playing in 41 games with the Seattle Mariners last year and batting a weak .191/.303/.394 with a .696 OPS, four home runs, 16 RBI and 11 run scored in only 109 plate appearances. The Mexican infielder was once a top prospect of the San Diego Padres but has never translated his skills to the big-league level outside of a 23-homer, 75-RBI season with the Milwaukee Brewers in 150 games in 2021. The 27-year-old will likely compete with Gio Urshela for playing time at third base this year for the A's. There's power in Urias' bat, but he won't be guaranteed much playing time and could just be a platoon option at the hot corner, at best, if he makes the team out of spring training.
