Brewers’ Luis Urías out 6 to 8 weeks with hamstring strain

CHICAGO (AP) — Infielder Luis Urías was positioned on the 10-day injured record by the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday due to a strained left hamstring, and the group chosen the contract of outfielder Joey Wiemer from Triple-A Nashville.

“It’s a solid hamstring strain, six to eight weeks, probably closer to eight, so it is significant,” Brewers supervisor Craig Counsell stated earlier than Saturday’s recreation towards the Chicago Cubs. “It’s unfortunate, but we will have to fill in around him, get him back in hopefully late May or early June.”

Urías was injured in Thursday’s opener, when he went 0 for 4. In 119 video games final season, he hit .239 with 16 homers and 47 RBIs.

Owen Miller, who has been mixing time between the outfield and infield, will spend nearly all of his time within the infield within the absence of Urías.

Wiemer was to make his main league debut Saturday, slated to start out in middle and bat ninth. In 2022, he hit .256 with 21 residence runs and 77 RBIs in stints with Nashville and Double-A Biloxi.
