ARLINGTON, Texas -- The New York Yankees continued their yearlong litany of injuries right up until Game 162 against the Texas Rangers, with third baseman Gio Urshela suffering a mild left ankle sprain on Sunday afternoon.
It was the second injury scare of the week for Urshela, who had to leave Tuesday's game at Tropicana Field in the seventh inning after being hit by a pitch. Urshela avoided any major damage when X-Rays came back negative and the diagnosis was limited to a bruised left hand.
Urshela was taken out of Sunday's game in the bottom of the fourth inning after an apparent misstep as he was fielding a hard-hit groundball by Rangers' third baseman Nick Solak.
