Gio Urshela grabbing seat for Yankees against Twins
New York Yankees infielder Gio Urshela is not in the starting lineup for Monday afternoon's game against right-hander John Gant and the Minnesota Twins.
What It Means:
Urshela is receiving a breather after starting the previous four contests, but Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the plan is for him to be the primary shortstop the rest of the way. Gleyber Torres is being moved to second base and D.J. LeMahieu is going to be responsible for the hot corner. Tyler Wade is manning shortstop and hitting eighth Monday while Urshela sits.
numberFire’s models project Wade for 8.8 FanDuel points and he has a $4,000 salary on Monday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Yankees have an implied total of 5.7 runs. Gant is registering a 19.5 strikeout percentage and a 14.6 walk percentage (bottom 3% of the league) this season, with a 5.12 xERA and a .341 xwOBA.
