Urias (wrist) has another checkup with a hand surgeon Friday, and he could be cleared to hit live pitching and appear in Cactus League games as soon as next week, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

He took swings against the pitching machine for the first time Wednesday and is still aiming to be ready for Opening Day. Orlando Arcia is having a great start to spring training, so even if Urias is ready for the start of the season, he may not get everyday at-bats right out of the gate. Nonetheless, he seems to be making good progress in his recovery from left wrist surgery in late January.
