Jacob Hurtubise - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Goes to Brewers on MiLB deal The Brewers signed Hurtubise to a minor-league contract Tuesday.

Impact Hurtubise has managed just a .167/.291/.212 batting line over parts of two seasons during his brief time at the big-league level. He can play all three outfield spots and has displayed good plate discipline in the minors with a 14.6 percent walk rate and 17.4 percent strikeout rate. It's a profile the Brewers have been able to squeeze value out of, but he's likely ticketed for Triple-A Nashville to begin the 2026 season.

Removed from 40-man roster The Mariners outrighted Hurtubise to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Impact While no longer on the 40-man roster, Hurtubise will remain in the Mariners organization and at Tacoma. The outfielder has spent most of the 2025 season at the Triple-A level, where he's slashed an ugly .145/.325/.179 over 44 contests.

JULY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Claimed by Mariners The Mariners claimed Hurtubise off waivers from the Reds on Tuesday.

Impact Hurtubise had been jettisoned from the Reds' 40-man roster, but he'll now join Seattle's 40-man. The 27-year-old will report to Triple-A Tacoma, where he'll provide experienced outfield depth.

Pushed off 40-man The Reds designated Hurtubise for assignment Saturday.

Impact Since being optioned to Triple-A on May 9, Hurtubise has slashed .115/.267/.180 across 76 plate appearances. His poor performance will now cost him his spot on the 40-man roster, and he'll be replaced by Ryan Vilade, who was claimed off waivers from St. Louis on Saturday.

Optioned to Triple-A The Reds optioned Hurtubise to Triple-A Louisville on Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

Impact With Austin Hays (hamstring) back from the 10-day IL and Will Benson recalled from Triple-A, the Reds sent both Hurtubise and Blake Dunn down to Louisville. Hurtubise slashed .083/.267/.083 across 15 plate appearances with Cincinnati.

Checks in to starting nine Hurtubise started in left field and went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's 4-3 win over Atlanta.

Impact Hurtubise was called up earlier in the week after Tyler Callihan (forearm) was added to the 10-day injured list. This is Hurtubise's second stint with the Reds this season. He was on the Opening Day roster and served mostly as a pinch hitter. In addition to Callihan's injury, the Reds are without outfielders Austin Hays (hamstring, IL) and Jake Fraley (calf, day-to-day).

Returns to majors The Reds recalled Hurtubise from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Impact He's grabbing the roster spot vacated by Tyler Callihan (forearm), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Hurtubise made the Reds' Opening Day roster but was handed just seven at-bats over nearly three weeks before being sent down. He's unlikely to play much more than that during this stint.

Optioned to Triple-A The Reds optioned Hurtubise to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Impact Hurtubise won an Opening Day roster spot but has played sparingly, managing just one hit in seven at-bats. The 27-year-old is clearing out to make room in the outfield for the return of Austin Hays (calf) from the injured list.

MARCH 30, 2025 • Associated Press

Wins reserve spot Hurtubise will be included on the Reds' Opening Day roster, Charlie Goldsmith of Charlie's Chalkboard reports.

Impact Hurtubise collected a .923 OPS with five stolen bases this spring to earn a roster spot. He might see some action in the outfield while Austin Hays (calf) is out but is likely to operate mostly in a reserve role.

MARCH 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Still in mix for outfield Hurtubise and Blake Dunn remain in camp competing for the final spot in the outfield, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Impact Rosecrans' latest roster projection has Dunn claiming the final outfield slot, but Hurtibise is having a moment this spring. He's batting .310/.487/.517 through 19 Cactus League games. Both Hurtubise and Dunn made major-league debuts in 2024.

MARCH 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Off injured list Hurtubise (undisclosed) was reinstated from Triple-A Louisville's 7-day injured list Wednesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact The 26-year-old has been sidelined for the past two and a half weeks due to an undisclosed injury, but he's now healthy and back on Louisville's active roster. Hurtubise received his first taste of the big leagues earlier this season and struggled to a .185/.297/.241 slash line in 29 games.

AUGUST 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Injured at Triple-A Triple-A Louisville placed Hurtubise on its 7-day injured list Friday with an unspecified injury.

Impact Hurtubise received his first taste of the big leagues in mid-May and stuck around with the Reds through June 21, when he was optioned to Louisville after going 0-for-14 over his final nine games with the big club. Since that time, Hurtubise turned in an underwhelming .215/.339/.290 slash line with one home run and eight stolen bases in 30 games with Louisville before succumbing to an injury.

AUGUST 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Bats leadoff Tuesday Hurtubise batted leadoff and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Padres.

Impact Since TJ Friedl (thumb) landed on the 10-day injured list, Will Benson had handled leadoff duties against right-handers, but manager David Bell moved the rookie to the top of the order Tuesday. It's unclear if this will remain the manager's practice going forward. Hurtubise has two hits and two walks over 13 plate appearances since being called up from Triple-A Louisville.

Joins 40-man The Reds added Hurtubise to their 40-man roster Tuesday.

Impact After slashing an impressive .327/.477/.474 across 451 plate appearances between Double-A Chattanooga and Triple-A Louisville last season, Hurtubise will be protected from being taken away from the Reds in the Rule 5 Draft. If Hurtubise is able to stay hot at the plate in 2024, there's a chance the 25-year-old outfielder cracks the big-league roster at some point in the season.
