Gio Urshela Fantasy Stats

Third baseman Gio Urshela was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Friday, per the team. Infielder Brett Harris was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas as the corresponding move. Urshela struggled in 197 plate appearances for the Athletics in 2025, recording a .236/.287/.326 slash line with zero home runs, 20 RBI, and 10 runs scored. The 33-year-old posted his highest strikeout rate (20.3%) since 2021, and his lowest barrel rate (2.1%) since 2017. Urshela is known as a strong defender at third base, but has posted subpar defensive metrics in 2025 as well. He may catch on with a different club for the stretch run, but he should remain off the fantasy radar.

Athletics third baseman Gio Urshela (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Urshela is back on the A's roster after being sidelined since late May due to a hamstring injury. He figures to be in the mix for playing time at third base with Max Muncy. Urshela was hitting extremely well during his rehab stint, but was struggling with the bat before going on the injured list. He's slashing .224/.276/.337 with 13 RBI in 32 games. He can remain on the waiver wire in fantasy formats with the A's likely giving Muncy a majority of the starts at third base.

Athletics third baseman Gio Urshela (hamstring) is expected to begin a rehab assignment this week, reports Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. He has been on the injured list since May 23 with a left hamstring strain. A few weeks off isn't that long in the grand scheme of things, so he should be able to progress quickly and return to the major league lineup next week. It's not clear how much playing time Urshela will get once he is activated, as there's about to be a logjam between him, Luis Urias, Max Muncy, and Zack Gelof once he is also healthy.

Athletics third baseman Gio Urshela (hamstring) has started a running progression and is also hitting and taking ground balls, according to MLB.com. Urshela is rehabbing a strained left hamstring that landed him on the 10-day injured list back on May 23. In his first year with the A's before getting hurt, the 33-year-old veteran had gone 22-for-98 (.224) with no home runs, 13 RBI and three runs scored in 32 games played. After he went down, Miguel Andujar (oblique) took over most of the playing time at the hot corner in Sacramento, but he's now also on the IL and probably won't return until at least late June. With Urshela and Andujar now out, Luis Urias and CJ Alexander are the primary options at third for the A's. Urshela is a glove-first player and won't be guaranteed regular playing time once he returns from the IL after his slow start offensively.

The Athletics have placed third baseman Gio Urshela (left hamstring) on the injured list, according to Mart n Gallegos of MLB.com. He presumably suffered the injury during Thursday's contest against the Los Angeles Angels in which he went 1-for-2 with a walk and RBI. So far, in his first season with the A's, Urshela is slashing .219/.265/.333 through 31 games. He has just three home runs, zero stolen bases, a 5.8 percent walk rate, and a 16.3 percent strikeout rate. Max Schuemann could take over at the hot corner, with Luis Ur as and Miguel Andujar also seeing third-base opportunities.

Athletics third baseman Gio Urshela is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Seattle Mariners. This appears to be a regular rest day for Urshela who has been hot at the plate recently. Over the last 10 games, Urshela has a batting average over .300 with 11 hits and four runs knocked in. He got off to a slow start, but Urshela is finally getting the bat going at the plate. In his absence, Miguel Andujar will get the start at the hot corner and bat cleanup versus right-hander Bryce Miller. Andujar doesn't see enough playing time to warrant rostering in most fantasy formats.

Athletics third baseman Gio Urshela (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Urshela will get a rest day here after playing in the first two games of the season. He has gone 1-for-7 at the plate, so maybe a night off will help him get back on track. Luis Urias will cover the hot corner and bat seventh versus right-hander Bryce Miller. Neither player is offering enough value right now to warrant rostering in most fantasy formats at the moment.

According to Ken Rosenthal of MLB on FOX, the Athletics have signed free agent infielder Gio Urshela to a one-year contract. Urshela spent the 2024 campaign playing in Detroit and Atlanta. Across 128 games, the infielder held a .250/.286/.361 line with 19 doubles, nine home runs and no stolen bases. Urshela showed a great eye at the plate with a 15.6% K rate and 20.3% whiff rate which were both significantly above the average marks. In addition, he also generated a .264 xBA which suggest he could be due for some positive regression in 2025. In 2022 and 2023 he posted a .285 AVG and .299 AVG respectively. Fantasy managers should expect him to have an everyday role at the hot corner with the Athletics and could be worth a look in deeper AL-only formats given his low strikeout rate and solid batting average.

The Atlanta Braves signed free-agent infielder Gio Urshela to a major-league contract on Tuesday and placed third baseman Austin Riley (hand) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to Aug. 19) with a fractured right hand in a corresponding move. To make room on the 40-man roster, the Braves moved left-handed reliever A.J. Minter (elbow) to the 60-day IL. Urshela was recently cut by the Detroit Tigers after hitting .243/.286/.333 with a weak .619 OPS, five home runs, 37 RBI and 25 runs scored in 300 at-bats in 2024. It's clear the Braves are desperate for help at the hot corner with Riley now expected to miss the rest of the year. Down on the farm, they're auditioning veteran Yuli Gurriel at third base. Urshela could immediately slot in at the hot corner in Atlanta, starting on Tuesday against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies, but he doesn't warrant fantasy attention outside of NL-only leagues.

The Detroit Tigers designated infielder Gio Urshela for assignment on Friday, according to a source. The out-of-contention Tigers have decided that it's time to play the youngsters to close out the 2024 regular season. Both infield prospects Trey Sweeney and Jace Jung have been called up the last two days and figure to get plenty of opportunities to impress in their first taste of the big leagues down the stretch. Sweeney and Jung are both starting at shortstop and third base, respectively, on Friday at Comerica Park against the New York Yankees. Urshela provided very modest production for the Tigers and fantasy managers in 2024, slashing .243/.286/.333 with a well below-average .619 OPS, only five home runs, 37 RBI and 25 runs scored in 300 at-bats. He's likely to clear waivers and could be sent to Triple-A Toledo.
