Luis Urías of the Boston Red Sox made history by becoming the first player since 2009 to hit grand slams in consecutive plate appearances. Acquired from the Milwaukee Brewers at the trade deadline, Urías hit his first grand slam on Thursday and followed it up with another in his first plate appearance on Saturday. He also became the first Red Sox No. 9 hitter to hit a grand slam against the New York Yankees since 1990.
The Boston Red Sox designated Christian Arroyo for assignment to make room for newly acquired infielder Luis Urías. Red Sox manager Alex Cora explained that they wanted to give Urías a chance and that Arroyo was the odd-man out in the middle infield mix. Arroyo, who has been with the Red Sox for the past three-plus seasons, has struggled with injuries and had a limited impact at the plate this season. The Red Sox now have seven days to trade Arroyo or place him on waivers.
Luis Urías will make his debut for the Boston Red Sox as they face the Toronto Blue Jays in a crucial matchup. The Red Sox lineup will remain the same except for Urías replacing Christian Arroyo at second base.

Alek Manoah will start for the Blue Jays, while Davis Schneider will make his major league debut at second base.
The Boston Red Sox have designated Christian Arroyo for assignment and recalled Luis Urías from Triple-A Worcester. Arroyo struggled offensively this season, batting .241 with three homers and 24 RBIs in 66 games. Urías, acquired in a trade with the Brewers, has had a rough season but has shown potential in the past. The Red Sox see him as an intriguing talent with upside.
The Boston Red Sox have designated infielder Christian Arroyo for assignment to make room for newly acquired Luis Urias on the Major League roster. Arroyo, who has been with the team for the past three-plus seasons, has struggled offensively this year. Urias, a former Brewer, offers a higher offensive ceiling and more roster flexibility with his remaining minor league option. Arroyo will be placed on waivers, and if unclaimed, he will likely accept an outright assignment to keep his salary and become a free agent at the end of the season.
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Luis Urias has been demoted to the minor leagues after a frustrating season, with rookie second baseman Brice Turang rejoining the team. Urias has struggled at the plate, hitting just .145 with one home run and five RBIs in 20 games since returning from a hamstring injury. Turang, who previously struggled in the majors, will have another opportunity to prove himself after performing well in Triple-A Nashville.
The Milwaukee Brewers have optioned infielder Luis Urías to Triple-A Nashville and recalled infielder Brice Turang. Urías has struggled this season, hitting just .145/.299/.236 with a wRC+ of 60. The Brewers are hoping that Turang, who has been performing well in Triple-A, can provide a boost to their struggling offense.
The Milwaukee Brewers mounted their biggest comeback of the season, coming back from a 4-0 deficit to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-5. Luis Urias and William Contreras were instrumental in the seventh inning, driving in three runs to give the Brewers the lead. The bullpen held strong, securing the victory and Devin Williams bounced back from a blown save last week to get his third save in a row.
The Milwaukee Brewers have reinstated infielder Luis Urías from the 60-day injured list and optioned infielder Mike Brosseau to make room on the active roster. First baseman Darin Ruf has been transferred to the 60-day injured list due to a laceration and non-displaced fracture of his patella, with an expected recovery time of six to eight weeks. The move could impact Brosseau's path to free agency, while the Brewers will need to find a new right-handed platoon partner for Rowdy Tellez in Ruf's absence.
Luis Urías has returned to the Milwaukee Brewers lineup after missing 58 games due to a hamstring strain. The Brewers have struggled offensively in his absence, ranking 25th in total runs in baseball and having a league-worst .629 OPS against lefties. Urías has a career .805 OPS against lefties and was activated for Monday's game against the Cincinnati Reds, who had a left-handed pitcher on the mound.
Infielder Luis Urias is set to return to the Milwaukee Brewers soon, which means someone will have to lose their active roster spot for him to return to the team. Mike Brosseau, Darin Ruf, and Luke Voit are all potential candidates to lose their spot. Brosseau has struggled at the plate and in the field, while Ruf has been used sparingly but has performed well. Voit was supposed to be a specialist against left-handed pitching but has struggled overall and has a high strikeout rate against lefties. It remains to be seen who will ultimately lose their roster spot.
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Eric Lauer has been placed on the 15-day injured list with an impingement in his right shoulder. Lauer believes the issue is with his glove shoulder, which has been affecting his mechanics and velocity. Infielder Luis Urías is nearing a return from injury, but the Brewers' starting pitching depth is already thin and they will need to find a replacement for Lauer's spot in the rotation. Jesse Winker, who has yet to hit a home run for the Brewers, is still being patient with the team hoping he can find his power stroke soon.
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Luis Urias will miss 6-8 weeks of action due to a left hamstring injury sustained on Opening Day. Prospect Joey Wiemer will take Urias' place on the roster, while Justin Wilson has been transferred to the 60-day injured list. Wiemer has shown promise in the minors and is expected to make his big league debut. Wilson underwent Tommy John surgery last year and is expected to miss most, if not all, of the 2023 season.
The Milwaukee Brewers have promoted outfield prospect Joey Wiemer to the majors after starting third baseman Luis Urías was placed on the injured list due to a hamstring injury. Wiemer, ranked as the No. 3 prospect in the Brewers system, was selected in the fourth round of the 2020 draft and has shown good offensive production. He will become the third member of the Brewers' starting nine with less than a year of big-league service time.
