Brewers' Luis Urias: Earning $2.55 million in 2022
Urias (quadriceps) and the Brewers agreed Tuesday on a one-year, $2.55 million contract to avoid arbitration, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
Urias was arbitration-eligible for the first time in his career following a breakthrough 2021 campaign in which he reached base at a .345 clip while supplying 23 home runs, 77 runs, 75 RBI and five stolen bases across 567 plate appearances. He played in all but 12 games last season, but Urias looks like he won't be on track to maintain that sort of durability in 2022, as he's not expected to be ready for Opening Day due to his recent shutdown caused by a left quad injury. The Brewers plan to hold Urias out for the remainder of the Cactus League slate before re-evaluating him once the team heads north at the conclusion of camp.
