Could need offseason surgery Urshela indicated Wednesday that offseason surgery to remove a bone spur in his right elbow is a possibility, Brendan Kuty of NJ Advance Media reports.

Impact Urshela recently returned from a stint on the injured list due to the bone spur, and he continues to wear a sleeve over his elbow to mitigate the pain. While the 28-year-old explained that the elbow "feels really good" at the moment, he wouldn't rule out the possibility of offseason surgery. "I don't know yet," he stated. "We're going to have to see how's the elbow at the end of the season." The issue doesn't seem to be affecting Urshela's play; since returning from the IL, he has notched at least one hit in every game, batting .438 (14-for-32).

Collects three hits in return Urshela went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a walk and three runs in a 20-6 victory over the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Impact Urshela returned to the starting nine after a minimum stay on the 10-day IL and demonstrated little rust, notching his second three-hit performance of the season. It was technically his fourth straight multi-hit game, though there was a 12-day pause since his previous contest due to the injury. Urshela is hitting a healthy .290/.376/.542 on the season.

Moves to injured list Urshela was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a bone spur in his right elbow.

Impact The 28-year-old has been playing through the bone spur for at least a week, and he even has multiple hits in each of his past two games. However, he'll now be sidelined until at least Sept. 15 while he recovers from the injury. It's unclear how much time Urshela is expected to miss. Miguel Andujar was recalled in a corresponding move and could see some time at third base in his absence.

Pops sixth homer Urshela went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Rays.

Impact New York couldn't muster any offense at all off Tyler Glasnow, but once he exited the game Urshela kick-started a comeback attempt by leading off the seventh inning with his sixth homer of the year. The 28-year-old hasn't matched last year's breakout, but he's still supplying solid power numbers for the Yankees.
