  • Gio Urshela 3B | MIN

    Yankees' Gio Urshela: Expects brief absence

    Urshela (groin) doesn't expect to miss more than the minimum 10 days on the injured list, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

    An MRI revealed both inflammation and a strain in Urshela's groin Friday, leading to him being placed on the injured list. He appears to be in line to return when eligible a week from Sunday, though it's worth noting that the timeline came from Urshela himself and not the team.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Athletics' Matt Chapman: Back in action

    Chapman (head) returned to the lineup for Friday's game against the Yankees.

    Chapman didn't start Thursday's game after getting hit in the head Wednesday, though he did appear off the bench. He'll bat second and play third base for Friday's contest.

    Yankees' Gio Urshela: Moves to injured list

    Urshela was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left groin strain, retroactive to Aug. 29.

    Urshela was removed from Wednesday's game with left groin tightness and believed he'd be able to rejoin the lineup Friday, but he'll instead make his way to the injured list. The 27-year-old was enjoying an extremely productive August with a 1.076 OPS, eight doubles, seven home runs and 18 RBI in 26 games. It's unclear how long Urshela is expected to be sidelined.

  • Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW

    Brewers' Mike Moustakas: Still sitting Friday

    Moustakas (wrist) remains sidelined Friday against the Cubs.

    Moustakas hasn't played since taking a grounder off his wrist Monday. His absence Friday comes as little surprise, as manager Craig Counsell indicated Thursday that he was likely still a few days away from returning to action. Hernan Perez starts at the hot corner in his absence.
