Gio Urshela has been released by the Oakland Athletics after being designated for assignment. He signed a one-year contract worth $2.15MM but faced challenges this season, including a hamstring injury and a subpar batting average of .238. Urshela's offensive struggles began after a fractured pelvis injury, where he previously batted .299 with the Angels. His performance has declined significantly with a batting line of .246 since the injury. Additionally, his defensive performance as a third baseman has deteriorated. Any team that signs Urshela will only pay a prorated league minimum, while the A's cover most of his salary.
