Thu Jun 29 202318:04Yuli Gurriel Scratched From Thursday’s Lineup
Miami Marlins first baseman Yuli Gurriel (nose) was scratched from Thursday's lineup against the Boston Red Sox. The 39-year-old was originally slated to fill in at first base for Garrett Cooper (illness), but Miami's depth will be stretched further after Gurriel got hit in the nose with a ball during pregame work. Luis Arraez shifts to the cold corner, Jon Berti pivots to second base, and Jean Segura enters the fray at third base while batting fifth. Consider Gurriel day-to-day ahead of a weekend series in Atlanta with the Braves.

Tue Jan 24 202315:24Marlins Not Certain To Sign Yuli Gurriel
Free-agent first baseman Yuli Gurriel isn't viewed as a certainty to sign with the Miami Marlins now after it was reported over the weekend that the two sides were progressing towards a deal, according to sources. Talks between the two sides have cooled in recent days, although that could change again. The Marlins have been focused on adding bats this offseason, but they could end up passing on the 38-year-old Cuban first baseman. If Gurriel did sign in Miami, he'd likely platoon at first base and designated hitter after having a down season with the Houston Astros in 2022. He also sprained the MCL in his knee in the World Series and probably doesn't have much left offensively as he approaches 40 years old.

Mon Jan 23 202316:29Yuli Gurriel Close To Signing With Marlins?
It was reported over the weekend that free-agent first baseman Yuli Gurriel was moving toward a deal with the Miami Marlins, according to sources. The soon-to-be 39-year-old suffered a sprained right MCL in Game 5 of the World Series, although he should be ready to go for Opening Day in 2023. Gurriel's numbers dropped in his seventh big-league season in 2022, as he slashed .242/.288/.360 with a career-low .647 OPS, eight home runs, 53 RBI, 53 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 584 plate appearances and 146 games. Other than a 31-homer season in 2019, Gurriel hasn't been much of a power hitter and would be moving to a pitcher-friendly park in Miami while also serving in a platoon at first base/designated hitter.

Tue Jan 17 202316:29Marlins Having Talks With Yuli Gurriel
The Miami Marlins have had talks with free-agent first baseman Yuli Gurriel, according to a source. If signed by the Marlins, Gurriel could potentially share time at the cold corner with Garrett Cooper. General manager Kim Ng and Gurriel have spoken directly, but it remains to be seen if the Fish will actually sign the former Houston Astro. The 38-year-old veteran suffered an MCL sprain of his right knee during the World Series, but he should be fine for spring training and the start of 2023. Gurriel has never been a big power guy -- he's gone over 18 home runs in a season just once in his seven big-league seasons -- and showed some decline in 2022 with a .242/.288/.360 slash line, .647 OPS, eight home runs, 53 RBI, 53 runs scored and a career-high eight stolen bases in 146 games. Gurriel's fantasy stock would drop further with a move to Miami in a part-time role.

Sat Nov 5 202218:16Yuli Gurriel Diagnosed With MCL Sprain
Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel (knee) has been diagnosed with a right MCL sprain. Gurriel hurt his knee in the eighth inning of Game 5 on Thursday when he was caught in a rundown. The extent of the sprain isn't known, but this is relatively good news after Gurriel was taken off the World Series roster before Game 6 on Saturday. Since it is a sprain and not a tear, Gurriel should be ready to go for the 2023 season.

Sat Nov 5 202216:48Yuli Gurriel Removed From World Series Roster
The Houston Astros removed first baseman Yuli Gurriel (knee) from the World Series roster on Saturday and replaced him with catcher Korey Lee. Gurriel tweaked his knee in the eighth inning of Game 5 on Thursday when he was caught in a rundown, and he won't be available for the rest of the World Series. The 38-year-old will be hard to replace in Houston's batting order, as he was hitting .347 (17-for-49) with two home runs, four RBI and four runs scored in 12 playoff games. In five World Series contests, Gurriel had gone 6-for-19 with an RBI, run scored, walk and a strikeout. Trey Mancini will replace him at first base and bat seventh in Game 6 on Saturday against Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler.

Fri Nov 4 202219:02Yuli Gurriel Injures Knee In Game 5
Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel (knee) left Game 5 of the World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies early on Thursday night with right knee discomfort, according to the team. Gurriel was caught in a rundown between third base and home plate in the eighth inning and he tweaked his knee in the process. The 38-year-old slugger is being considered day-to-day right now, with the good news being the fact that Friday is a travel day and Game 6 won't be played until Saturday evening. But there's still a chance that he won't play or will be hindered if he starts on Saturday. If Gurriel can't plan, Trey Mancini could take over at the cold corner. In 12 playoff games this year, Gurriel has gone 17-for-49 (.347) with two homers and four RBI, so the Astros would prefer to keep his bat in their lineup.

The 38-year-old has stepped up this postseason after a disappointing regular season, batting .348 with four RBI and two stolen bases in 46 at-bats. Even more impressive, he is now tied with his manager, Dusty Baker for the fifth-longest streak of plate appearances without a strikeout to begin a postseason.

Fri Jul 29 202214:23Yuli Gurriel Steals Sixth Base Thursday
Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel went 1-for-3 with a run scored and his sixth stolen base of the season in Thursday's 4-2 win over the division-rival Seattle Mariners. His six stolen bases this year is a career-high after he swiped a combined six stolen bases in the last three seasons. Otherwise, the 38-year-old has been a bit of a disappointment with the bat for fantasy owners, slashing .238/.291/.390 with seven home runs, 27 RBI and 33 runs scored in 91 games for the first-place Astros. It comes after he hit a league-high .319 in 143 games in 2021. Gurriel has at least been better in July, going 21-for-76 (.276) with a homer, seven doubles, three steals and six RBI in 22 games.

Wed Jul 6 202216:28Yuli Gurriel Sitting Out Wednesday's Game
Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel is not part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Aledmys Diaz will be taking over at first base for the contest. After hitting a career-high .319last year, Gurriel has been extremely disappointing so far through 2022. He has a .227/.282/.390 slash line to go along with seven homers, 24 RBI and 29 runs. His .240 xBA doesn't inspire much confidence, nor does his .353 xSLG, which ranks in the bottom 8% of the league.

Mon May 30 202221:07Yuli Gurriel Hitless In His Last Three Games
Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel went hitless again in Monday's 5-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics. He hasn't recorded a hit in three straight games, going 0-for-10 during that span. That's been the story of the season for Gurriel, as he's hitting just .217 over 43 games. Fantasy managers haven't gotten production in any category, with the 37-year-old tallying three home runs, 15 runs, 13 RBI, and a pair of stolen bases. Gurriel's track record (.289 career batting average) makes him hard to part ways with, but if he keeps it up much longer, it's okay to cut him loose.

Mon Apr 11 202208:16Yuli Gurriel Expected Back On Tuesday
Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel was placed on the paternity list on Friday. He missed each of the team's last three games, but he is expected to be back in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The team optioned fellow first baseman Joe Perez to Double-A after Sunday's game to clear a roster spot for Gurriel. The 37-year-old Gurriel started on Opening Day and went 1-for-4 with a double. He's a strong source of batting average help as he's a career .293 hitter and he hit .319 last season. He should also have sturdy runs and RBI totals this year.

Fri Apr 8 202219:05Yuli Gurriel Placed On Paternity List

Thu Nov 4 202121:33Astros Pick Up Yuli Gurriel's 2022 Option
The Houston Astros picked up first baseman Yuli Gurriel's $8 million option for the 2022 season on Thursday. Gurriel will return for his seventh season in Houston after putting up a strong year in 2021, with the team falling just short in the World Series to the Atlanta Braves. It was especially impressive after he struggled in the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign. Gurriel had a career year in 2021, slashing .319/.383/.462 with 15 home runs in 605 plate appearances. The 37-year-old lacks prototypical power for his position, which doesn't make him all that attractive in fantasy, but he walked a career-high 9.8% of the time this year and puts the ball in play often.

Tue Oct 26 202116:38Yuli Gurriel Hopes To Stay Hot In World Series

Gurriel came alive in the ALCS, going 10-for-22 (.454) with two extra-base hits, four runs scored and six runs batted in.

Gurriel will present excellent DFS value for Game 1 as the veteran posted an .889 OPS during the regular season at Minute Maid Park.

Alex Bregman, Yuli Gurriel and Yordan Alvarez are all out of the starting lineup for the game. Aledmys Diaz is covering third base with Marwin Gonzalez at first base and Jake Meyers at designated hitter. Gurriel, who is hitting .318 this year, will likely take the AL Batting Crown.
