Yankees Reinstate Gio Urshela, Place Chris Gittens On 10-Day Injured List

By TC Zencka | July 25, 2021 at 10:46am CDT

The Yankees have activated Gio Urshela from the COVID-related injured list. Chris Gittens will replace him on the 10-day injured list after stepping on a bat and turning his ankle, per MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch (via Twitter). Tim Locastro was also transferred to the 60-day injured list, per the team.

Gittens, 27, made his Major League debut this season with a .111/.250/.194 triple slash line in 44 plate appearances. The right-handed hitter absolutely mashed in Triple-A, however, hitting an undeniable .359/.519/.718 in 104 plate appearances.

Urshela will be back at third base for the Yanks. The 29-year-old is again producing for the Yankees, posting 1.5 rWAR with a .275/.315/.441 line and 11 home runs over 314 plate appearances.

      It could have been worse. It could have been his turn to bat and he stepped on his own ankle.

    Gittens going on the IL officially makes him a true Yankee. Next stop is Monument Park.

      At least the bleacher creatures can break out that sweet chant they’ve been working on now. “Chris Git-tens
      Injured on equip-ment

    So many journeyman have gotten their chance for the yanks recently, and they all seem to hurt themselves. Gittens, locastro, amburgey, Lamarre on the first go around. Truly wild.

    From MLB com list of untouchables :

    “Yankees: Gerrit Cole, RHP
    He looks like his old self again and has secured his spot as the most truly indispensable Yankee.”

    I agree

    Sell Sell Sell and Fire Boone. Time to deal everyone on the roster they can deal that has worth.
    Chapman, Britton, Voit, Odor, Sanchez, Urshala, German, and if Stanton waives his no trade to go to a west coast team and Yanks eat money. Also if the Yanks get a huge huge haul for Judge!
    Time to shed salary and set the team up for next season and free agency.

      What exactly do you think you’ll get for most of those guys, especially Stanton? Lol I love Yankee fans. Never stop being you.
