New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela was not in the starting lineup for Wednesday night's series finale against theTampa Bay Raysas he nurses a bruised left hand.
DJ LeMahieu will move over to third base in Urshela's absence, with Luke Voit starting at first.
The 27-year-old Urshela was hit on the left hand by a 95-mph fastball from Raysreliever Diego Castillo during the sixth inning on Tuesday night and was lifted from the game before the bottom of the seventh. X-rays came back negative, and the Yankees said he is listed as day-to-day.
"We certainly won't risk anything, and check on him and see how it is," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said after the Yankees' 2-1 loss to the Rays. "I don't anticipate it as an automatic down."
A breakout star for the banged-up Yankees this season, Urshela is hitting .315 with 20 homers, 73 RBIs and an .888 OPS. He went on the 10-day injured list in late August because of tightness in his left groin.
