Giovanny Urshela: Breaking News

Wraps up playing career

Urshela announced Monday via his personal Instagram account that he has retired from professional baseball. The 34-year-old infielder had been a free agent since the end of spring training, when the Twins granted him release after informing him that he wouldn't be included on the Opening Day roster. Urshela is now opting to close the books on a 10-year big-league career that included stops with the Indians, Blue Jays, Yankees, Twins, Angels, Tigers, Atlanta and Athletics. Over 852 carer games, Urshela turned in a .270/.314/.407 slash line to go with 73 home runs, seven stolen bases, 352 RBI and 312 runs.

Becoming free agent

The Twins granted Urshela his release Friday. Urshela got a non-roster invite to the Twins' spring camp, but the veteran infielder will hit the open market once again after having his release granted. He went 5-for-26 with five strikeouts and two walks across 11 games played this spring.

Inks deal with Minnesota

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