Gio Urshela Fantasy

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela was activated from the injured list on Tuesday. The Yankees had expected Urshela to miss the minimum 10 days with a bone spur in his elbow, and the 28-year-old has followed that timeline with his return on Tuesday. Urshela will look to build off of his strong start to the season that features a .873 OPS through his first 31 games, and he should be back in fantasy lineups as the everyday third baseman for the Yankees going forward.

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (elbow) remains on schedule to be activated on Tuesday, according to manager Aaron Boone. Urshela has been able to take on-field batting practices and workouts without any setbacks. The 28-year-old has been out of the lineup since Sept. 3, but he was enjoying a productive season up until then. Urshela was slashing .272/.358/.515 with six homers, 23 RBI, and 18 runs scored across 103 at-bats in 2020. He is a viable fantasy asset in all formats for the final stretch of the season.

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (elbow) is hitting at the teams alternate site on Sunday, keeping him in line to rejoin the major league lineup as soon as hes eligible on Tuesday. With outfielder and DH Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) also likely to return sometime this week or early next week, the Yankees are set for a shakeup in their lineup. The Yankees are most likely to move infielder DJ LeMahieu back to second base, slot Urshela back in at third base, and use Stanton at DH, so infielder Tyler Wade and third baseman/outfielder Miguel Andujar are likely to be playing time casualties, and Andujar will be even further impacted by outfielder Aaron Judges (calf) impending return.
