Can sprites be static batched? (URP, 2D Renderer)

Hey everyone

I have a scene containing a few sprites and I am using URP with the 2D renderer. The sprites won't be moving, their color will not be changed. From all my knowledge of rendering 3d geometry it should be possible to renders these as a single static batched. Objects are marked as static, they use the same Sprites/Default Material instance with renderqueue set to 2000.

Still all I get is a Draw Dynamic call. Is it possible to draw these background elements as a static batch or does the Sprite Renderer itself prevent this?
