Orioles place Urias on injured list, designate Valdez for assignment, add Jones, Wade

PHILADELPHIA—After playing through an upper leg injury for the past few weeks, the Orioles placed infielder Ramón Urias on the 10-day injured list with a right adductor strain.

The Orioles also designated right-handed pitcher César Valdez for assignment.

To replace them on the roster, the Orioles recalled infielder Jahmai Jones and right-handed pitcher Konner Wade from Triple-A Norfolk.

The Orioles also optioned right-handed pitcher Joey Krehbiel, who was claimed on waivers from Tampa Bay on Tuesday, to Norfolk.

Before the moves were made, manager Brandon Hyde said that the Orioles were waiting to make decisions on Urías, who pinch hit in Tuesday night’s game, pitcher Chris Ellis, who was supposed to start on Tuesday night, but couldn’t due to right arm fatigue and outfielder Anthony Santander.

Hyde said that Santander tweaked his left hamstring chasing J.T. Realmuto’s game-winning triple in the 10^th inning, but that he was trending in the right direction.

Urías is eligible to come off the injured list and play in the final two games of the season in Toronto on October 2^nd and 3^rd.

He’s hitting .279 with seven home runs and 38 RBIs in 85 games with a .774 OPS.

Jones, who scored the winning run in the Orioles 3-2 win over the New York Yankees on September 16^th, was optioned to Norfolk after the game. He’s batting .164 with three RBIs in 18 games for the Orioles.

Wade has an 11.42 ERA in five games with the Orioles.

Valdez, whose contract was purchased before Tuesday’s game, was 2-2 with a 5.87 ERA in 39 games.
