Mandatory Credit: Troy Taormina-Imagn Images | Troy Taormina-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\">Before he was placed on the Injured List, Ur\u00edas played in 25 games and was slashing .158\/.279\/.316 with a .595 OPS, two homers and five RBIs. Those numbers don&#8217;t jump off the page, to say the least. But he&#8217;s a career .254 hitter and can help this club out all across the infield. He&#8217;s a right-handed bat that the Cardinals are missing.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\">On Monday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reported that Ur\u00edas has made progress in his recovery and is taking dry swings and will begin throwing &#8220;imminently.&#8221; On top of this, he shared that Ur\u00edas is expected to begin a rehab assignment in a week or two.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\">&#8220;Lars Nootbaar will be at Springfield this week to continue his rehab program,&#8221; Jones wrote. &#8220;Ram\u00f3n Ur\u00edas has progressed to dry swings and plyos and should be starting a throwing program imminently. Could be a week or two from a rehab assignment but it\u2019ll depend on how he tolerates throwing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\">Ur\u00edas signed with the Cardinals this past offseason on a one-year, $2 million deal. St. Louis has been able to find success so far this season, despite the fact that the club&#8217;s depth has been tested. Ur\u00edas is one big example of this, but isn&#8217;t the only one. Nootbaar hasn&#8217;t played in a game yet this season for the Cardinals. Nathan Church also was just placed on the Injured List as well due to a shoulder injury.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\">For the Cardinals, they are going to be even better when they inch closer to full strength. That includes Ur\u00edas. While his numbers so far this season haven&#8217;t jumped off the page, he&#8217;s one of a few guys on the roster over 30 years old and is an important piece to have around. Fortunately, it sounds like his time is coming. These are the types of updates Cardinals fans should be watching for. St. Louis got some more good news on Monday. This is a step in the right direction for a club that already has been among the most fun in the league this season.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div data-testid=\"google-news-widget\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The St. Louis Cardinals infielder is working his way back for the organization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1605,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>\ud83d\udea8 CARDINALS HUGE RELIEF \u2014 Encouraging Ram\u00f3n Ur\u00edas Injury News Just Dropped That Has Fans Breathing Easier!
