Urías, 31, was traded to Houston from the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday in exchange for right-handed pitching prospect Twine Palmer. The utility infielder might be somewhat unknown to all but dedicated baseball fans. But look beyond the surface stats, and Urías could be a valuable addition for Houston's push toward the postseason.

Their starting rotation has been hit hard by injuries this season. There are fortunately a few starters available with the clock ticking before the trade deadline. Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports that the Astros are showing interest in both Sandy Alcantara and Dylan Cease.
