Should the Yankees be concerned by Gio Urshela’s September performance?

Gio Urshela was nearly unstoppable at the plate in the month of August. The 27-year-old third baseman batted .385 last month, blasting seven home runs and driving in 18 runs in the process. Urshela experienced his best month of the 2019 season, but went down with a left groin injury running out a groundball against the Mariners on August 28. Urshela returned from a short IL stint on September 8, but he has struggled since, to the tune of a .214 batting average and 67 wRC+. With the playoffs quickly approaching, should the Yankees be concerned by Urshela’s recent struggles?
