Ditches crutches Urshela (pelvis) said Sunday that he resumed walking without the aid of crutches earlier in the week, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Urshela has been out since mid-June with a fractured left pelvis, an injury that the Angels announced will keep him out for the remainder of the season. Fortunately for Urshela, he'll avoid surgery to address the injury, and he said Sunday that he should be in store for a normal offseason. The 31-year-old is set to become a free agent this winter and will likely have to settle for a one-year deal on the open market.

10 MLB storylines to track in second half of 2023 season

As the second half to the 2023 MLB season approaches, here is a look at 10 things to anticipate, including a few players chasing history.

JULY 13, 2023

Out for season Urshela doesn't need surgery on his fractured pelvis, but he will miss the remainder of the season, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Urshela took an awkward tumble while running to first base which forced him out of Thursday's game against Texas. The good news is that he won't need to undergo surgery, so he could be ready for the start of spring training next year, but the book appears to be closed for Urshela this season after slashing .299/.329/.374 with 24 RBI through 228 plate appearances.

JUNE 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Visiting with specialists Urshela (pelvis) visited with a specialist earlier in the week and will see another on Wednesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Angels will have a better sense of his timeline after the visit Wednesday, Bollinger notes. Urshela was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left pelvis fracture before Friday's game. The veteran infielder will miss at least another week with the injury, but it's possible this will be an injury that keeps him out of action for the foreseeable future.

JUNE 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hip injury forces IL stint Urshela was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a hip injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Urshela was injured during Thursday's game versus the Rangers when he stumbled awkwardly over first base while trying to beat out a double play ball. It's not clear at this point how long he might be sidelined. Michael Stefanic is taking Urshela's spot on the Angels' roster.

JUNE 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could be headed for IL Urshela (hip) was seen on crutches after Thursday's game against the Rangers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact Urshela is dealing with a hip injury after awkwardly stumbling over first base while trying to beat out a double play in the first inning. There hasn't been any official move yet, by manager Phil Nevin suggested that Urshela will end up on the injured list in the coming days.

JUNE 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Exits after awkward fall Urshela exited Thursday's game against the Rangers with an apparently lower-body injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Urshela stumbled over first base while trying to beat out a double play in the first inning. He remained in the contest briefly but was ultimately pulled before having to field his position in the second inning. There are no additional details about the nature of the injury, but Jared Walsh entered the game at first base.

JUNE 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in lineup Urshela (back) is starting at first base Thursday against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Back soreness kept Urshela out of the Angels' last two games, but the issue appears to have subsided ahead of Thursday's contest. Urshela holds just a .400 OPS over the past seven days, but he will fill in for Jared Walsh, who hasn't recorded a hit since June 2.

JUNE 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out again Wednesday Urshela (back) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday contest versus the Rangers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact He's now been out of the lineup for four straight contests and five of the last six while dealing with a back problem. Anthony Rendon's return also surely has impacted how much Urshela is playing, as well.

JUNE 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out of lineup Urshela (back) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Rangers.

Impact Urshela has been out of the lineup five times in the last seven games at least in part due to a back injury. He's considered day-to-day. Brandon Drury is at first base and Luis Rengifo is at second.

JUNE 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Battling back issue Urshela has been dealing with a back injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact It helps explain why he's out of the lineup Monday for the fourth time in six games, although that could also be in part due to Anthony Rendon returning from the injured list. At this point, Urshela's injury seems like a day-to-day situation.

JUNE 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Handling utility role Urshela is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact On the bench for the fourth time in six games, Urshela looks to have moved into a utility role in the wake of Anthony Rendon's recent return from the 10-day injured list. Since Urshela has performed at just below a league-average level as a hitter (97 wRC+, .313 woBA) this season and is capable of playing all four infield spots, he should still be in line for a handful of starts per week.
