Urshela (knee) is in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles. A knee injury cost Urshela several games and even required an MRI, but this is now back-to-back starts for the third baseman after he hit a pinch-hit homer in Friday's game. With that, it seems the worst of the knee issue is behind him. Urshela is slashing .303/.349/.479 with five home runs, 19 RBI, 11 runs scored and one steal through 33 games this season.

Urshela (knee) went 1-for-1 with a go-ahead three-run homer in Friday's 5-4 win over the Orioles. Urshela was held out of Friday's starting lineup due to a sore knee but still made a big impact as a pinch hitter with a three-run blast to give the Yankees a 5-4 lead in the seventh. It was the 29-year-old's fifth home run of the year and brought his RBI total up to 19. He's hit safely in 13 of his last 14 games and is slashing .298/.347/.482 on the season altogether.

Urshela (knee) is not in the lineup Friday against the Orioles. The 29-year-old continues to battle a knee injury and won't start the series opener at Baltimore. Miguel Andujar will start at third base Friday in place of Urshela.

Urshela is dealing with a knee injury and could be out of the lineup Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. Urshela missed the team's weekend series with a knee injury, and he is still dealing with it despite returning to start three consecutive contests. It appears the team may take a cautious approach, though for the time being a stint on the injured list doesn't appear imminent.

Urshela (knee) will play third base and bat cleanup Tuesday against the Rays. Urshela left Thursday's game against the Astros with a knee injury and didn't appear in the weekend series against the Nationals. He's good to go following Monday's off day, however, and will be looking to continue the five-game hitting streak he was on at the time he got hurt.
