Gurriel went 1-for-3 with a double, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Yankees. The 28-year-old snapped an 0-for-13 mini-slump with his two-bagger in the eighth inning, while the RBI ended a 13-game drought. Gurriel's swoon has dragged his slash line down to .243/.295/.369, and through 31 games he has a disappointing two homers, 11 RBI and 13 runs, with his two steals the only metric in which he's ahead of his usual pace.

Gurriel is starting Wednesday's game against the Red Sox. Gurriel wasn't in Tuesday's lineup against Boston due to hamstring tightness, but he appeared off the bench and went 0-for-1 with a strikeout. He'll start in left field and bat fifth Wednesday.

Gurriel's absence from the lineup Tuesday against the Red Sox is due to hamstring tightness, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports. Gurriel may have been due for an off day anyway, as he'd started the Blue Jays' first 17 games of the year. The team doesn't seem to be overly concerned with his injury, as he reportedly could be available to pinch hit Tuesday, but it was enough for him to be replaced by a pinch hitter of his own Monday and will cost him at least one start.

Gurriel will be on the bench for Tuesday's game against Boston. Gurriel started each of Toronto's first 17 games of the season, hitting .297/.329/.469 with two homers and a steal. He's homered in back-to-back games but will nonetheless be out of the starting nine Tuesday, with Raimel Tapia getting the nod in left field.
