2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Tigers signed Urshela at the beginning of spring training and gave him close to everyday playing time through mid-August, but he was finally released at that point after managing just a .619 OPS and five home runs in 92 contests. He was quickly scooped up by an Atlanta club that had lost Austin Riley due to injury and was a little better for them down the stretch, but Urshela ultimately finished with just a .647 OPS and lowly 28.4 percent hard-hit rate. The 33-year-old did have a bounce-back season in terms of his defensive metrics, and Urshela has usually been a solid bet to hit for average with a career 18.2 percent strikeout rate. The Athletics will give him a shot at third base in 2025, but Urshela is probably just as likely to be released for the second straight year than he is to last the full year as a starter at the hot corner.

Traded from the Twins to the Angels last winter, Urshela played in 62 games before an unfortunate stumble over first base ended his season. Urshela was diagnosed with a left pelvis fracture, though after visiting with specialists it was determined he would not need surgery. The infielder ditched his crutches last August and expected to have a normal offseason. During his time on the field last season, Urshela continued to hit for a high average thanks to his considerable bat-to-ball skills, albeit with very little power. Now 32 years old, Urshela has only once reached 15 home runs in a season and he chips in little speed, rendering him little more than a one-category play. Having signing a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Tigers in February, Urshela projects for a utility role in 2024. Comerica Park is a tough park for hitters, but eligibility at both third base and first base helps his case in AL-only formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Trade on horizon?
According to Evan Woodbery of MLive.com, Urshela's expiring contract makes him a candidate to be traded ahead of Tuesday's deadline.
ANALYSIS
The veteran infielder signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with Detroit in February, so he's an expendable piece even if the club hangs onto its slim playoff hopes and doesn't fully sell at the deadline. Urshela's .252/.290/.340 slash line is underwhelming, but his defense and versatility could still bring some value to contending teams as a bench piece.
