Gio Urshela

Gio Urshela announced his retirement from the MLB after 10 seasons.

Fantasy Impact

Urshela appeared in 59 games with the Athletics last season. He hit .270 across his career with 73 home runs. He hit .314 with 21 home runs in a career season with the Yankees in 2019.

Gio Urshela has signed a minor league contract with the Minnesota Twins. He was released by the Athletics in August.

Fantasy Impact

Urshela has played parts of ten seasons at the big league level and played for the Twins in 2022, batting .285 with 13 home runs and 64 RBI in a career-high 144 games with Minnesota. However, in his last three seasons, Urshela has combined for a .260 average with 11 home runs in 886 plate appearances with the Angels, Tigers, Braves, and Athletics. Urshela will provide depth and insurance for the oft-injured Royce Lewis at third base.

The Athletics have designated third baseman Gio Urshela for assignment.

Fantasy Impact

The Athletics also recalled infielder Brett Harris from Triple-A and claimed left-hander Jared Shuster off waivers from the White Sox on Friday, costing Urshela his spot on the 40-man roster. He hit .238 without a homer across 59 games for the Athletics this season.

The Athletics activated INF Gio Urshela from the 10-day injured list.

Fantasy Impact

Urshela missed close to the past month with a left hamstring strain. He figures to return to his platoon role at third base.

Gio Urshela is starting a rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Las Vegas.

Fantasy Impact

Urshela has been sidelined for the past two and a half weeks. He'll likely only require a few rehab games before he is activated.
