The Twins signed Urshela to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Urshela spent the 2025 season with the Athletics, slashing .238/.287/.326 with zero home runs, 20 RBI, 10 runs scored and a 13:40 BB:K across 197 plate appearances before being designated for assignment in mid-August. Urshela was eventually released days later but never found a home to close out the 2025 campaign. With Minnesota, 34-year-old Urshela will compete for a corner infielder depth job behind Josh Bell, Royce Lewis, Brooks Lee and Kody Clemens.

The Athletics released Urshela on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Athletics designated Urshela for assignment Friday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

Urshela will stick in the lineup for the fourth time in five games while Luis Urias (back) is day-to-day and 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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Athletics placed Urshela (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Friday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Urshela strained his left hamstring Thursday. With Urshela sidelined, Miguel Andujar, Luis Urias and Logan Davidson are candidates to make starts at third base for the Athletics. Urshela has underwhelmed with a .224/.276/.337 slash line this season.

Urshela strained his left hamstring Thursday and will be placed on the injured list, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Urshela was forced to exit Thursday's game early with the issue, so the team wasted little time in making a determination about his status. The severity of the injury remains unclear, though Urshela's absence isn't likely to affect the A's lineup much on a daily basis as he's lost his regular role at third base.
