Furman earned a promotion in early August 2026 amid infield injuries and an impending trade of Luis Arraez, but he managed just four singles across 32 big-league at-bats.

San Miguel notes that Furman batted .293 with Triple-A Sacramento in 2026 and provides valuable contact skills, speed, and defensive reliability at second base.
