Knocks homer in win Urshela went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a double in Friday's 4-0 win over the Angels.

Impact Urshela fell a triple shy of the cycle Friday, striking out in the eighth inning to miss achieving the feat. It was still one of his better games of late -- his last three-hit effort was July 6. The third baseman has a .268/.309/.439 slash line with 11 homers, 46 RBI, 40 runs scored, 18 doubles and two triples through 94 contests this year. Urshela should still see most of the playing time at third base now that he's moved past an ankle injury, but the hot-hitting Jose Miranda could also see some looks there.

Starts after three-game hiatus Urshela will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Urshela has been an everyday player for the Twins for the majority of the season, but he could be in danger of moving into more of a part-time role if center fielder Byron Buxton continues to be limited to designated-hitter duties while battling general body soreness. Buxton is on the bench for the fourth time in seven games Sunday, and his lone three starts over that stretch have come as a DH. With Buxton clogging up the DH spot, hot-hitting rookie Jose Miranda has picked up more time at third base at the expense of Urshela, who was on the bench for the previous three contests.
