Recently Acquired Luis Urias Called Up By Blue Jays

The Toronto Blue Jays are going with an extra infielder rather than a bonus outfielder.

Infielder Luis Urias had his contract selected from Triple-A Buffalo by the Jays on Monday, with outfielder Yohendrick Pinango sent back to Buffalo. Urias was just acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks for cash.

Urias had yet to play a game with Buffalo after appearing in 27 games at Triple-A with the D'backs where he had a .361/.393/.546 slash line with three home runs and 19 RBIs. He played in the World Baseball Classic for Mexico, but started the season on the injured list.

He was with the A's last season, playing in 96 games and slashing .230/.315/.338 with eight homers and 25 RBIs.

Pinango was in his second call-up this year after making his MLB debut in late April. Between the two stints, he has been a very nice contributor with a .283/.331/.433 slash line with four homers and 18 RBIs in 43 games.
