Urias has three-hit day in win
Ramon Urias went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in a win Saturday over the Rangers. Urias also drew a walk. The 30-year-old drove in a pair with a two-run single in the second to give the Orioles a 3-0 lead off of Max Scherzer. Urias provides real-life value for Baltimore with his defense. His .247/.319/.387 doesn’t do much for fantasy players.
Scherzer forced to leave start early
Max Scherzer was forced to leave Saturday’s start against the Orioles prematurely as he was battling arm fatigue. The 39-year-old hurler was lifted after throwing 53 pitches in two innings against the Orioles. Scherzer told reporters after the game that the fatigue was affecting both his stuff and location, which is the reason he was ultimately pulled. Rangers’ skipper Bruce Bochy didn’t sound concerned but noted that they’ll continue to monitor Scherzer going forward. As of now, it doesn’t sound like he’s going to have to miss his next scheduled start against the White Sox.
