The Astros are acquiring infielder Ramón Urías from the Orioles, a source told MLB.com on Wednesday night. The clubs have not confirmed the deal, which will send Single-A right-hander Twine Palmer back to the O’s, per a source.
Baltimore’s selloff ahead of the 6 p.m. ET Trade Deadline on Thursday continues, with others like Ryan O’Hearn and Cedric Mullins still candidates to be moved.
The Astros can slot Urías into their infield mix, where they need depth help at multiple positions due to injuries to Jeremy Peña and Isaac Paredes.
The 31-year-old Urías has experience at every infield position over his six-year career, all with the O’s. He was slashing .248/.300/.388 with eight homers in 77 games this year, and just had a two-homer game against Toronto on Tuesday.
