Ramon Urias News: Sitting after five straight starts

Urias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Urias had started the last five games while going 6-for-20 with one home run, one double, three RBI and two runs, but he'll hit the bench as Jose Altuve covers the keystone. Altuve has been serving as Houston's primary designated hitter of late, but he'll likely shift back to second base once Yordan Alvarez (hand) is activated from the injured list later this month, leaving no path to regular playing time for Urias.
