Sits in favor of rookie Monday Urshela is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

Impact He'll give way at third base to Jose Miranda, who will make his MLB debut Monday after his call-up from Triple-A St. Paul. The addition of Miranda presents some competition for Urshela, though the 23-year-old prospect may also see at-bats at second base, first base or designated hitter. Urshela's absence from the lineup may be a byproduct of his 0-for-13 showing at the dish over his past three starts, but he's still holding down a serviceable .258 average on the season.

Three singles in win Urshela went 3-for-4 with a run and a RBI in a 7-1 win Thursday over Detroit.

He now has three multi-hit games in his last four appearances and has raised his batting average to .321. The journeyman has only one extra-base hit on the season, a homer on Opening Day, but has made up for it with a high average, a .393 OBP and just six strikeouts in 61 plate appearances.

Three hits in win Urshela went 3-for-5 with three singles in Monday's win over the Red Sox.

Impact Urshela posted his second consecutive multi-hit performance Monday after failing to have one in the first seven games of the year. The hot stretch has lifted his batting average from .167 to .296 on the season. If Urshela can keep the average up, he could have a strong 2022 campaign hitting in the heart of the Twins' batting order.

Making third straight start Urshela will start at third base and bat third in Monday's game against the Red Sox, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Impact Urshela will pick up his third straight start at the hot corner with the lefty-hitting Luis Arraez taking a seat against Boston southpaw Rich Hill. Arraez's ability to play multiple positions should continue to allow Urshela to pick up occasional starts against right-handed pitching, too, but the 30-year-old hasn't done much in a small sample of 24 plate appearances to warrant much excitement. He's hitting .227 with a home run, no stolen bases, three runs and two RBI in eight games.

Arraez could also be used in a utility role and play nearly every day. Either way, both Arraez and Urshela are still expected to be in the regular mix for at-bats.
