Gurriel went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run Tuesday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Gurriel took Andrew Chafin yard in the seventh inning to tally his eighth homer of the season. It was his first long ball in 59 games, spanning back to July 1.

Gurriel went 3-for-4 in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Gurriel benefited from receiving a day off Friday. His first-inning single led to an error that generated the Astros' lone run in Saturday's contest. Gurriel had gone 11 games without a multi-hit effort, hitting just .125 in that span. His batting average has yet to exceed .250 this year, and it's currently at .242 with a .654 OPS, seven home runs, 43 RBI, 47 runs scored and eight stolen bases through 126 contests. Despite the poor performance, he continues to see regular playing time at first base.

Gurriel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Gurriel went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in a 2-1 loss to Boston on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Batting second, Gurriel brought home Jose Altuve with a first-inning single before swiping second base and adding another single in the fifth. The 38-year-old's theft was his fifth in his last 12 games while the two-hit performance extended his hitting streak to seven games, during which he's batting .379 with two doubles. Deadline acquisition Trey Mancini may eat into Gurriel's playing time, though manager Dusty Baker will be forced to keep Gurriel's bat in the lineup if he continues to put up quality numbers.

Gurriel went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Gurriel has two steals, three doubles and three multi-hit efforts during his five-game hitting streak. His theft Sunday came as part of a double-steal that saw Jose Altuve dart home for the game's first run. Gurriel has picked up four of his seven steals this season in his last 10 games. He's slashing .243/.293/.392 with seven home runs, 28 RBI, 36 runs scored and 30 doubles through 94 contests.

Gurriel went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base Thursday against Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Gurriel was hit by a pitch in the eighth inning and went on to steal second base before coming around to score. After swiping one base combined across the 2020 and 2021 seasons, Gurriel now has six steals this season without being caught. That's a nice uptick in value, as Gurriel has otherwise recorded only seven home runs with 27 RBI and 33 runs scored in 91 games on the campaign.
