The Padres will promote Urias from Triple-A El Paso ahead of Tuesday's game against the Mariners, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
One of the top position prospects in a deep Padres farm system, Urias will head to the majors after hitting .296/.398/.447 with eight home runs, 83 runs and 45 RBI in 120 games as the youngest qualified hitter in the Pacific Coast League. He's expected to fill a full-time role in the middle infield for the Padres over the final month of the season, mixing in at both second base and shortstop. The 21-year-old may slot near the bottom of the order initially, but he profiles as a top-of-the-lineup candidate in the long term.
