Urshela gets a salary bump as a reward for his soldi 2020 season when he slashed .298/.368/.490 with six homers and 30 RBI over 151 at-bats. He's been a very underrated player over the last few years.

Gio Urshela underwent successful surgery on Friday to remove a bone chip from his right elbow, according to the Yankees PR Department.

The surgery went according to plan and Urshela's recovery time is expected to be three months so he's not in danger of missing the start of the 2021 season. This is the same elbow that bothered him in September and sent him to the 10-day IL. He also missed time last year with a groin injury. Urshela still had a solid year for the Yanks, slashing .298/.368/.490 with six home runs and 30 RBI across 151 at-bats during the regular season.

Gio Urshela crushed a grand slam off James Karinchak in Game 2 of the Wild Card Round as the Yankees swept the Indians to advance to the ALDS.
