A sore shoulder has the Indians giving rookie third baseman Giovanny Urshela a break Monday in Boston per MLB.com. Mike Aviles is set to man the position instead.
Urshela, who should return to the lineup Tuesday, has been a mainstay since his promotion. But he has slumped recently with just three hits in his last 26 at-bats and five no-hit games in the last seven. His average has dropped from .251 to .234 during that stretch.
