6 years agoSan Diego Padres infielder Luis Urias (hamstring) was scratched from Tuesday’s spring training contest. Padres manager Andy Green claims the move was precautionary but Urias has a history of hamstring ailments. Baseball’s No. 23 prospect suffered a pulled hamstring last September that ended his first taste of the big leagues. The same injury prevented him from participating in winter ball. Touted for his superior plate discipline, Urias is slated to be a table-setter for the Padres while playing shortstop for the Padres in the early-going. He’s expected to platoon with second baseman Ian Kinsler once shortstop prospect Fernando Tatis Jr. debuts. Yet to develop much power with his bat, Urias profiles as a waiver wire fantasy placeholder who can contribute in the average and runs categories if his ailment proves short term.--Andrew Le - RotoBaller
