The Toronto Blue Jays have reached a deal to bring infielder Luis Urias over from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for cash considerations, according to a report from The Athletic.<\/p>

The 29-year-old Urias spent last year with the Athletics, posting a .230 batting average along with eight home runs and 25 RBIs across 96 games. This season he has been playing at the minor league level, where he has put up strong numbers \u2014 a .347 average with three home runs and 21 RBIs over 32 games.<\/p>

According to Sportsnet, Urias is not expected to make a stop at Triple-A Buffalo on his way up. Instead, he will use an upward mobility clause in his contract to report directly to the Blue Jays’ big league club.<\/p>

His value lies in his versatility across the infield, which makes him a useful backup option should Ernie Clement miss significant time. Clement has been dealing with soreness in his left hip.<\/p>

Over his career spanning 582 games with the San Diego Padres, Milwaukee Brewers, Boston Red Sox, Seattle Mariners, and Athletics, Urias holds a .231 batting average with 60 home runs and 221 RBIs.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
