BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles put third baseman Ramón Urías on the injured list with a hamstring strain before Saturday night’s game against Kansas City.
The Orioles called up top prospect Coby Mayo from Triple-A Norfolk. Manager Brandon Hyde said he didn’t think Urías, who went on the 10-day IL retroactive to Thursday, would be out too long.
“I think it’s a minor hamstring strain,” Hyde said. “He’s going to have to have a few days off.”
Urías has been a bright spot for the Orioles during their slow start to the season, hitting .292 with two homers. Now he joins a lengthy list of Baltimore players on the IL, including outfielders Colton Cowser and Tyler O’Neill, infielder Jordan Westburg .
Mayo is baseball’s No. 12 prospect , although he went 4 for 41 in his big league debut with Baltimore last year. He’s hit .252 with six homers and 22 RBIs in 28 games for Norfolk this season.
