Urshela is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Mariners.

Urshela had four hits -- including a home run -- in Tuesday's 15-1 win in the series opener before going hitless in Wednesday's 3-2 victory. He'll defer to Andy Ibanez at third base in Thursday's matinee.

Mayo went 1-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Nationals.

Getting the start at third base and batting eighth, Mayo banged out the first hit of his big-league career with a single to lead off the fifth inning. The 22-year-old had gone 0-for-15 since his promotion coming into Wednesday, but his .301/.375/.586 slash line at Triple-A Norfolk this season is a reminder that the hits could come in bunches for Mayo once he gets comfortable.

Garcia went 0-for-1 with two stolen bases and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Twins.

Garcia entered the game as a pinch runner in the seventh inning and wreaked havoc on the basepaths by stealing second and third. He then scored on a Vinnie Pasquantino double. The pair of steals give Garcia 30 thefts on 31 attempts this season, the first time he's reached that milestone. He's added a mediocre .236/.284/.341 slash line with six home runs, 48 RBI, 74 runs scored, 21 doubles and five triples over 118 contests. While he's no longer starting on an everyday basis, Garcia is firmly ahead of Paul DeJong for playing time at third base.

DeJong went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Twins.

DeJong had gone just 1-for-11 over his last six games before breaking out of the slump Wednesday. The infielder reached the 20-homer mark for the first time since he hit 30 in 2019. He's added a .235/.285/.442 slash line with 46 RBI, 44 runs scored, 15 doubles and two stolen bases across 112 contests between the Royals and White Sox. DeJong's big game could help him earn more playing time, but he's unlikely to be anywhere near an everyday player in the Royals' crowded infield.

Cabrera went 2-for-5 with one RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the White Sox.

Cabrera's playing time predictably dropped when the Yankees traded for Jazz Chisholm, but Chisholm is now out indefinitely with an elbow injury. This has opened up third base for Cabrera, who has hit safely in each of his last five games. The utility man is at a .248/.294/.376 slash line with eight home runs, four steals, 35 RBI and 39 runs scored across 280 plate appearances this year.

Caminero went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Astros.

Caminero has gone 1-for-7 with a walk and three strikeouts over his first two major-league games this season. He's started against both a left-hander and a right-hander in those contests, which suggests the Rays are willing to let the top prospect handle an everyday role initially. His steal Wednesday was his first in the majors, though it's not likely to be a big part of his game since he's never stolen more than 12 bases across all levels in a single year.

Sosa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

Sosa had batted first or second in each of the past three games, but he failed to provide a spark near the top of the lineup, going 1-for-12 at the plate. Though the White Sox probably aren't ready to pull the plug on Sosa as a near-everyday player just yet, the 24-year-old will head to the bench in the series finale nonetheless.

Cabrera will start at third base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

With Jazz Chisholm (elbow) hitting the injured list Wednesday, Cabrera will man the hot corner for the second game in a row and it looks like he'll get the first chance to claim the open spot in the Yankees' everyday lineup. Cabrera enters Wednesday's contest with a four-game hitting streak, but he's supplied a modest .245/.292/.375 slash line with eight home runs and three stolen bases across 275 plate appearances on the season. Along with Cabrera, DJ LeMahieu and Oswald Peraza could get looks at third base while Chisholm is out indefinitely.

The Yankees recalled Peraza from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.

Peraza will join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for Jazz Chisholm (elbow), who was placed on the injured list. The 24-year-old Peraza has slashed .244/.351/.382 with eight home runs and 17 steals across 65 contests with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season. He may see some starts at third base while Chisholm is out, but Peraza could struggle to see consistent playing time.

The Yankees placed Chisholm on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left elbow sprain.

He was injured during Monday's game against the White Sox on a slide into home plate. A decision on whether Chisholm will be able to rest and rehab the injury or require season-ending surgery has yet to be made, but even in a best-case scenario, he's going to miss multiple weeks of action. In the meantime, Oswaldo Cabrera is likely to see the bulk of the starts at third base for the Yankees, with DJ LeMahieu and Oswald Peraza also in the mix for playing time at the position.
