Urshela went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's victory over the Tigers. Urshela notched an RBI single off Beau Brieske in the bottom of the second inning, driving in Max Kepler. He later added two more singles, notching his second multi-hit contest of the month and first since May 14. The third baseman has secured at least one hit in five of his last six games, batting .438 with five RBI in those contests. If he can maintain this level of production moving forward, he could see himself reinstated closer to the top of the batting order later this season.

Urshela is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Kansas City, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports. Urshela has a .170/.242/.340 slash line through 16 games in May and will head to the bench Sunday. Jose Miranda will start at the hot corner in his place.

Urshela will sit Tuesday against Oakland. Urshela has held onto regular playing time even after the arrival of rookies Jose Miranda and Royce Lewis, but the Twins' infield will get crowded once Carlos Correa (finger) returns from the injured list, which is expected to happen soon. Urshela's .226/.280/.330 slash line doesn't make the best case for an everyday role, but his past track record could still keep him in the lineup on a regular basis until he turns things around at the plate. Miranda will be the one to start at the hot corner Tuesday.

Urshela went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in a loss to the Guardians on Saturday. Urshela knocked in both of Minnesota's runs in the contest, blasting a 434-foot solo shot to center field in the fourth inning and plating another run with an infield single in the 10th. It's been a quiet start to Urshela's tenure in Minnesota, as he's slashing a modest .232/.288/.313 across 111 plate appearances.

Urshela isn't starting Thursday's regularly scheduled game against the Astros. Urshela will get a breather after he went 0-for-5 with a strikeout during Wednesday's suspended game. Jose Miranda will take over at the hot corner and bat fifth.
