On bench Saturday Urshela (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

Impact It's Urshela's second straight day on the bench as he deals with a hamstring injury, but his appearance as a pinch hitter Friday suggests he's close returning to the lineup. Tyler Wade is playing third base and batting eighth Saturday.

Singles as pinch hitter Urshela (hamstring) singled in his only at-bat during Friday's 3-1 win over the Marlins.

Impact The hamstring issue kept Urshela out of the starting lineup, but it is certainly a positive that he was healthy enough to enter the game as a pinch hitter. Urshela singled to right in the eighth inning and was immediately replaced on the basepaths by Nestor Cortes. It's unclear how long the Yankees plan to hold him from the starting nine, but it appears that Urshela will be available to hit off the bench in the meantime.

Battling hamstring issue Urshela is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins due to a hamstring issue, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact The exact nature of the injury is unclear, but it appears to be merely a day-to-day problem. Tyler Wade will be the third baseman in his absence.

With Gio Urshela's return from COVID, Yankees are nearly whole again Sunday's lineup card had the Yankees nearly back to normal.

JULY 25, 2021 • NYDAILYNEWS.COM

On base twice in return Urshela (illness) went 1-for-3 with an RBI single and a walk in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Red Sox.

Impact Urshela had been out of the lineup since July 16 due to a positive test for COVID-19. He was reasonably productive in his return to the lineup, putting the Yankees ahead 2-0 with his fourth-inning RBI single. The third baseman is slashing .275/.318/.440 with 11 home runs, 39 RBI, 30 runs scored and a stolen base through 318 plate appearances.

Back in action Sunday Urshela (illness) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list and is starting at third base Sunday against the Red Sox, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact Urshela has been sidelined since July 16 after testing positive for the virus, but he's cleared the necessary protocols and will rejoin the lineup Sunday. The 29-year-old will reclaim his starting role at third base now that he's back with the team.

Could return by end of series Urshela (illness) could rejoin the Yankees prior to the end of the current series against the Red Sox that runs through Sunday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact Urshela was one of six confirmed positive cases for COVID-19 among the Yankees last week, but he's apparently tested negative now since he's traveling to meet the team in Boston. The 29-year-old should reclaim his role as the primary third baseman once he's cleared to return, but DJ LeMahieu and Tyler Wade should continue to fill in while he's sidelined.
