Gio Urshela - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Cut loose by Athletics The Athletics released Urshela on Sunday.

Impact Urshela will be able to pursue his options on the open market after he cleared waivers upon being designated for assignment Friday. The 33-year-old is regarded as a solid defender at the corner-infield spots, but he provided scarce production with the bat prior to losing his spot on the Athletics' 40-man roster, slashing just .238/.287/.326 over 197 plate appearances.

Designated for assignment The Athletics designated Urshela for assignment Friday.

Impact After slashing .238/.287/.326 with 20 RBI and 10 runs scored through 197 plate appearances on the year, Urshela will lose his place on the Athletics' 26-man and 40-man rosters. He'll be replaced on the big club by Brett Harris, who was recalled from Triple-A on Friday. The A's also claimed Jared Shuster off waivers from the White Sox to round out the 40-man.

Taking seat Thursday Urshela is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Urshela had started four of the previous five games, but he'll begin Thursday's matinee on the bench. Max Schuemann will handle third base and bat ninth for the Athletics.

Playing time trending up Urshela will start at third base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

Impact Urshela will stick in the lineup for the fourth time in five games while Luis Urias (back) is day-to-day and while Max Muncy (hand) remains on the shelf. Assuming Urias is able to avoid a stint on the injured list and rejoins the lineup in the near future, Urshela will likely fade into more of a part-time role.

Two hits off bench in return Urshela went 2-for-2 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 13-3 loss to the Astros.

Impact Urshela missed just under four weeks due to a left hamstring strain. He didn't start Tuesday, but he was the only Athletic to log multiple hits in the contest. It's unclear if he'll be able to regain a regular role in the Athletics' infield -- his best bet for playing time is likely to challenge Max Muncy at third base, though Muncy is hitting a respectable .261 (12-for-46) in June compared to his .211 average on the year. Urshela is at a .240/.290/.360 slash line with no home runs, 14 RBI, four runs scored, 10 doubles, one triple and no stolen bases across 109 plate appearances this season. Even if he gains a starting role in the short term, Miguel Andujar (oblique) could displace Urshela once healthy.

Activated from injured list The Athletics reinstated Urshela (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Urshela got seven hits across 14 at-bats with a home run and two doubles in four games during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas. The 33-year-old is set to return after missing time since May 22 due to the hamstring injury he suffered. In a corresponding move, Seth Brown was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to an elbow injury.

Starting rehab stint soon Urshela (hamstring) is expected to be sent out on a minor-league rehab assignment later in the week, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Urshela, who was placed on the 10-day injured list May 23 due to a left hamstring strain, is set to begin a rehab stint with Triple-A Las Vegas. It's been just over two weeks since his last game action, so he should only need a handful of at-bats in the minors before the team feels comfortable activating him.
