Blue Jays call up Luis Urias, option Yohendrick Pinango to triple-A

The Toronto Blue Jays’ latest trade acquisition could be in line to make his debut Monday.

Infielder Luis Urias has been selected to the Blue Jays’ major-league roster and is active for Monday’s game against the Houston Astros, the team announced ahead of the showdown (Sportsnet, Sportsnet+, 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT).

The Blue Jays acquired Urias over the weekend from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for cash considerations.

Urias, 29, is an eight-year MLB veteran who hasn’t been able to crack the Diamondbacks’ big-league roster this season. He’s previously played for the San Diego Padres, Milwaukee Brewers, Boston Red Sox, Seattle Mariners and Athletics.

He had a slash line of .230/.315/.338 with eight homers in 96 games with the Athletics in 2025.

In his career, Urias holds a slash line of .231/.329/.378 with 60 home runs.

Piñango, meanwhile, has enjoyed a productive first cup of coffee in MLB, batting .283 with a .764 OPS and four home runs in 43 games since being called up in late April.

However, the 24-year-old’s bat has cooled off of late, with just two hits in his last seven games. He hasn’t hit a home run since June 7 against the Baltimore Orioles.
