Urshela exited Thursday's game against the Rangers with an apparently lower-body injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Urshela stumbled over first base while trying to beat out a double play in the first inning. He remained in the contest briefly but was ultimately pulled before having to field his position in the second inning. There are no additional details about the nature of the injury, but Jared Walsh entered the game at first base.

Urshela (back) is starting at first base Thursday against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Back soreness kept Urshela out of the Angels' last two games, but the issue appears to have subsided ahead of Thursday's contest. Urshela holds just a .400 OPS over the past seven days, but he will fill in for Jared Walsh, who hasn't recorded a hit since June 2.

Urshela (back) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday contest versus the Rangers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
He's now been out of the lineup for four straight contests and five of the last six while dealing with a back problem. Anthony Rendon's return also surely has impacted how much Urshela is playing, as well.

Urshela has been dealing with a back injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury explains why he's out of the lineup Monday against the Rangers for the fourth time in six games, although it could also be in part due to Anthony Rendon's recent return from the injured list. At this point, Urshela's injury seems like a day-to-day situation.

Urshela is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
On the bench for the fourth time in six games, Urshela looks to have moved into a utility role in the wake of Anthony Rendon's recent return from the 10-day injured list. Since Urshela has performed at just below a league-average level as a hitter (97 wRC+, .313 woBA) this season and is capable of playing all four infield spots, he should still be in line for a handful of starts per week.

Urshela (back) is hitting eighth and playing first base versus the Mariners on Saturday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Urshela was a late scratch from the lineup Saturday against Seattle, but it was described as precautionary and the infielder is feeling well enough to go against the M's for Saturday's contest. Jared Walsh heads back to the bench with Urshela handling first base.

Urshela was scratched from the lineup Friday against the Mariners due to lower back tightness, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will thrust the struggling Jared Walsh into the Angels' starting lineup at first base. It sounds like a day-to-day type of issue for Urshela, who has posted a .304/.335/.382 batting line in 59 games (221 plate appearances) this season while getting everyday looks at various spots on the infield.

Urshela went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Saturday's 8-5 extra-inning loss to the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Each of Urshela's hits knocked in a run, and he came up a triple shy of the cycle. The infielder hasn't supplied much power this season, as his solo shot was just his second homer in 49 contests on the year, and he's added just seven doubles. He's at least made consistent contact lately, hitting safely in 10 of his last 12 games to raise his slash line to .318/.337/.392 with 23 RBI, 19 runs scored and three stolen bases through 184 plate appearances.
