Yankees activate Gio Urshela, get one step closer to ideal starting lineup Urshela had been out since July 29 with a hamstring issue, but the Yankees activated him before Thursday’s series opener in Oakland. He will...
Returns to lineup Urshela is starting at third base and hitting eighth Thursday against the Athletics.
Impact Urshela was activated from the injured list earlier in the day Thursday and will now return to his typical role at third base. He had been sidelined for over three weeks but completed two games in a rehab assignment prior to being activated. Rougned Odor is out of the lineup and is likely to lose the most playing time moving forward due to Urshela's return.

Reinstated from injured list Urshela (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Thursday.
Impact Urshela spent over three weeks on the injured list due to a left hamstring strain, but he recently made two rehab appearances at Double-A Somerset and went 4-for-8 with a double and three runs. He's appeared in just 16 major-league games since the start of July and has slashed .286/.314/.408 with a home run, three doubles, nine RBI and five runs during that time.

Could return Thursday Urshela (hamstring) will play in another rehab game Tuesday and could be activated Thursday against Oakland, Sweeny Murti of Sports Radio 66 WFAN reports.
Impact A strained hamstring has kept Urshela out for the entirety of August. He looked healthy in a rehab game Sunday, going 3-for-4 with a double, and it doesn't look as though he'll need to do much more to convince the Yankees he's ready to return.

Starts up rehab assignment Urshela (hamstring) reported to Double-A Somerset on Sunday to begin a rehab assignment.
Impact Urshela will start at third base Sunday for Somerset in his first game action since July 31, when he suffered a setback with his strained left hamstring. Since he's been on the shelf for more than three weeks, Urshela will likely play at least one more game in the minors beyond Sunday before the Yankees consider bringing him back from the 10-day injured list. Once Urshela is reinstated from the IL, Rougned Odor would likely move into a utility role for the Yankees.

Approaching rehab stint Urshela (hamstring) may begin a rehab assignment Sunday or Tuesday, Max Goodman of SI.com reports.
Impact Urshela has been out of action since July 31, as what was expected to be a short stay on the injured list took a turn for the worse when the infielder suffered a setback while participating in fielding drills Aug. 9. He recently received a PRP injection, which appears to have helped in his healing. If Boone's estimate for a rehab stint proves accurate, Urshela could possibly return to the big club by next weekend.

Running at 80 percent Urshela (hamstring) ran at 80 percent Monday and will ramp up his participating in baseball activities in the next couple days, Max Goodman of SI.com reports.
Impact If all goes well while increasing his rehab work, Urshela may begin a rehab assignment by the end of the week. The 29-year-old has been sidelined since late July with a strained hamstring and will likely require a few games in the minors to get back up to speed, which could allow him to be activated sometime next week.

Won't return on current trip Yankees manager Aaron Boone stated that Urshela (hamstring) won't be able to return during the team's current road trip that runs through Sunday, per MLB.com.
Impact Urshela recently received a PRP shot to speed healing, but he isn't ready to rejoin the active roster. It's unclear how much longer the infielder is expected to be out, though a return by the end of next week isn't out of the question.

Impact Urshela was hoping to return from the injured list Wednesday, but he recently suffered a setback. Manager Aaron Boone is hopeful that the third baseman will be able to ramp up his workload Wednesday. However, Boone also said that it's too early to tell when Urshela will return to game action.
