Blue Jays Make Luis Urias Announcement
During the Guardians game on Thursday, the following transaction popped up on the Blue Jays roster move tracker:
“Toronto Blue Jays sent 2B Luis Urías on a rehab assignment to Dunedin Blue Jays.”
Urías was placed on the IL on August 7, and was acquired by the Blue Jays in a trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks in late June.
This is good news for the Jays, as they could be returning the services of Urías soon, who has been dealing with a right quad strain.
The Dunedin Blue Jays made the following post on social media:
🔹 INF Luis Urías has been assigned to Dunedin on @BlueJays MLB rehab.
After it was announced that Luis Urias was in the batting order for Dunedin’s game on Thursday, it was then announced that infielder Ryan Cooney would be replacing Urias in the lineup, which is an interesting development.
Urias has played in 26 games for the Blue Jays so far this season, and he’s batting .250 with three home runs and three doubles across 52 at-bats.
