    Yankees' Gio Urshela: Leaves Thursday with injury

    Urshela was removed in the top of the eighth inning of Thursday's game against the Astros due to an apparent injury, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports. He went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk before departing.

    Urshela looked to be walking with a limp when he exited the field, so he could be dealing with some sort of lower-body injury. The Yankees elected to pull Urshela from the contest shortly after he committed a throwing error that allowed Kyle Tucker to advance into scoring position. Expect the team to provide an update on the nature of Urshela's injury shortly after the game concludes.
