Jonah Bride Fantasy Stats

Free-agent infielder Jonah Bride and the Texas Rangers agreed to a minor-league contract with an invitation to major-league spring training on Tuesday, a source told Jeff Passan of ESPN. The 29-year-old will reunite with new Rangers manager Skip Schumaker, for whom he had his best big-league season in 2024 with the Miami Marlins. Bride, a former 23rd-round pick by the Athletics in 2018 out of South Carolina, hit .276 (64-for-232) with 11 home runs, 39 RBI, and 30 runs scored in 71 games for the Fish in 2024. He hit a strong .281/.423/.453 in 43 games at Triple-A this year, but he struggled with a .435 OSP in 125 plate appearances with Miami and the Minnesota Twins this year. Bride will be auditioning for a roster spot with the Rangers in spring training, but he'll most likely open the 2026 season at Triple-A Round Rock as corner-infield insurance for Texas.

The Minnesota Twins have designated infielder Jonah Bride for assignment, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. This is the second time this season Bride has been in DFA limbo. The Miami Marlins designated him in mid-April before trading him to the Twins for cash considerations. While Bride was versatile enough to see time at both corner infield positions, second base, and even as a mop-up duty pitcher with the Twins, he hit just .214/.282/.243 with three RBI in 78 plate appearances. Between Miami and Minnesota, Bride has batted an abysmal .170/.248/.188 in 125 homer-less trips to the plate this season. Bride started at third on Sunday, but Brooks Lee has gotten the majority of action at the hot corner with Royce Lewis (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list since June 14. Lewis could return on Tuesday to take Bride's place on Minnesota's roster.

Minnesota Twins infielder Jonah Bride will get the start at third base in Tuesday's matchup against the Guardians. Bride, who was acquired earlier this month from the Marlins, recorded a three-hit effort on Monday and is 6-for-11 (.545) over his last three games. The Twins have a low implied run total for this one as they take on RHP Tanner Bibee, so Bride doesn't offer too much appeal for DFS, but if you are looking for a cheap bat that has been hitting well recently, Bride could fit the bill. Brooks Lee, who has also played third base for the Twins, is also in the lineup but will man second base and bat seventh.

The Minnesota Twins acquired infielder Jonah Bride from the Miami Marlins on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations, according to The Athletic's Dan Hayes. Bride was just designated for assignment by Miami on Tuesday, but it didn't take long for another team to come calling for his services. The Twins are placing outfielder Matt Wallner (hamstring) on the injured list, while shortstop Carlos Correa (wrist) and utility man Willi Castro (oblique) were both injured the last two days as well. The 29-year-old Bride will provide some much-needed position-player depth for the Twins for the time being, although it won't guarantee him regular at-bats with his new organization. Bride did hit .276 (64-for-232) with a career-high 11 homers and 39 RBI in 71 games in 2024 for Miami, but he started 2025 going 4-for-40 (.100) with five walks and 15 strikeouts in 12 games.

The Miami Marlins announced on Tuesday that they designated infielder Jonah Bride for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster for outfielder Jesus Sanchez (oblique), who was activated from the 10-day injured list. If Bride clears waivers, he'll likely return to Triple-A Jacksonville and serve as minor-league infield depth for the Marlins. The 29-year-old had a rough start to the 2025 season in the big leagues, going 4-for-40 (.100) with no homers, two RBI, three runs scored, five walks and 15 strikeouts in 45 plate appearances over 12 games played. The move is good news for both Eric Wagaman and Matt Mervis, who are both in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks. If Bride returns to the Marlins organization, he could eventually be a bench option against right-handed pitching again at some point this year.

Miami Marlins first baseman Jonah Bride remains out of the team's starting lineup on Tuesday against the division-rival New York Mets at Citi Field. Matt Mervis will start at first base and bat third for the Fish against Mets right-hander Clay Holmes. Bride has just two hits in his first 28 at-bats of the year with five walks and 10 strikeouts, so he'll start on the bench for the third straight game. Mervis, who hits from the left side, has gone 6-for-21 at the plate with two home runs, four RBI, three runs scored, two walks and nine strikeouts in his first seven games with the Marlins. The 29-year-old Bride will have to pick it up offensively when he gets his opportunities moving forward to avoid being benched most days. Mervis has one hit and an RBI in just two career at-bats against Holmes.

According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, Miami Marlins first baseman Jonah Bride is entering spring training as the "frontrunner" to open the season as the starting first baseman. Jackson noted that former top prospect Matt Mervis and Deyvison De Los Santos will compete alongside Bride for the job, but given his strong play with the Marlins last season, Bride is the clear top option. Last season, across 71 contests in Miami, Bride posted a .276/.357/.461 line with 10 doubles, 11 home runs, and a 30:55 BB:K ratio. He drew walks at an elite 11 percent rate and held a strong 20.2 percent strikeout rate. Across 75 games with Triple-A Jacksonville, the 29-year-old posted a .267/.409/.454 line with 11 long balls. If Bride has a successful spring training, he could be worth a look in deeper NL-only formats.

The Miami Marlins acquired infielder Jonah Bride from the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday evening in exchange for cash considerations. To make room on their 40-man roster, the Marlins designated infielder Jordan Groshans for assignment in a corresponding move. The 28-year-old Bride has two years of major-league experience and has played third, second and first base. He also played 90 innings as a catcher at Double-A Midland in 2022. He hit a strong .305/.432/.544 with a .976 OPS, a career-high 13 home runs, 19 doubles, two triples, 54 RBI, five stolen bases and 60 runs scored in 73 games for Triple-A Las Vegas last year. Bride has just a .528 OPS in 293 big-league plate appearances, though, and he'll give the Fish some infield depth to open spring training in a couple weeks.

Oakland Athletics third baseman Jonah Bride is getting the day off Sunday as his club faces Zack Wheeler and the Philadelphia Phillies. In his second Major League season, the 27-year-old is slashing .209/.340/.233 with no home runs, five runs, and four RBI across 16 games. Bride's always been a solid on-base guy, posting a career .394 OBP over five seasons in the minors. Tony Kemp is taking his spot in the batting order, playing second base and batting seventh. The veteran utility man is sporting a sluggish .159 batting average with one home run and three stolen bases, making him irrelevant everywhere.
