Minors: Luis Urias homers in return to El Paso lineup

Luis Urias returned to the lineup after a left shoulder tweak had sidelined him for six days. He didn’t waste much time getting back into a rhythm.

The 22-year-old infielder hit his 19th homer, one of four hit by Triple-A El Paso en route to upping its season total to a pro baseball-best 201 during a 7-4 win at Reno on Thursday night.

Urias’ only hit was the home run that drove in two runs in his first game since leaving in the middle of an at-bat on July 12. He also struck out twice as his batting average dipped to a season-low .
