Urshela hit .250 across playing time with the Tigers and Braves last season. He'll help out the infield for Oakland.

Fantasy Impact

His performance included a key home run that bolstered the Braves' offense in their win. Despite a modest season batting average of .246, Urshela's ability to drive in runs, now totaling 49 RBI, remains a critical asset for fantasy managers. His power numbers have been less than stellar with only seven home runs over 121 games, but games like this highlight his potential value in deeper fantasy leagues, especially in matchups favorable to hitters. His low walk and strikeout rates suggest a relatively stable, if unspectacular, fantasy option at third base.

Gio Urshela went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI in the Braves' 7-1 victory over the Reds.

Fantasy Impact

His performance today, particularly the clutch RBIs, provided a much-needed boost to his relatively modest season stats. With a batting average hovering just over .240 and a wOBA of .266, Urshela hasn't been the most reliable fantasy option this year. However, games like this show his potential to contribute in RBI situations, which might make him a situational pick in deeper leagues or formats that reward doubles. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his performance for signs of consistency before making any roster moves.

Gio Urshela went 1-for-4 in the Braves' 6-2 victory over the Dodgers, delivering a home run and driving in two runs.

Fantasy Impact

This performance, highlighted by his sixth homer of the season, offers a slight boost to his otherwise modest .242 batting average. While Urshela's power numbers have been underwhelming with just six long balls over 113 games, his ability to drive in runs in key situations remains an asset. Fantasy managers should view Urshela as a situational player whose value increases against favorable matchups, though his limited power and average stats don't make him a must-start in all formats.

Gio Urshela remains out of the Braves lineup on Thursday against the Phillies.
