Overview
- Minnesota signed the veteran infielder to a minor‑league contract with a non‑roster invite to Major League spring training, as reported by Aaron Gleeman and Daniel Alvarez‑Montes.
- Urshela will try to win a job in camp, with any big‑league role dependent on his spring performance and team needs.
- The Twins project Royce Lewis at third base with Brooks Lee and Tristan Gray in reserve, and Lewis’ injury history creates a potential opening.
- His recent production dipped, including a 2025 stint with the Athletics in which he hit .238/.287/.326 with 20 RBIs and no home runs in 59 games.
- He was Minnesota’s primary third baseman in 2022 after arriving in the Josh Donaldson trade and previously broke out with the Yankees in 2019 with a .314 average, 21 homers and 74 RBIs.
