Padres call up Luis Urias, hit him leadoff

Yeah, it’s probably too early to throw dirt on Ian Kinsler, but this is a pretty incredible sign that the San Diego Padres are not willing to lose a couple of games in the name of patience:

The Padres have recalled INF Luis Urías and LHP Brad Wieck from Triple-A El Paso and placed OF Franchy Cordero (right elbow sprain) LHP Aaron Loup (left elbow strain) on the 10-day IL.

Luis Urias is one of the Padres top prospects and is expected to share the San Diego infield with Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr.
