Yanks' Urshela exits with bruised hand after HBP

TAMPA -- Third baseman Gio Urshela left the New York Yankees' game against the Tampa Bay Rays because of a bruised left hand after he was hit by a pitch.

After the game, the Yankees announced that X-rays were negative.

The Colombian infielder was hit on the left hand by a 95 mph fastball from reliever Diego Castillo during the sixth inning on Tuesday night. Urshela remained in the game after he was checked by Yankees' head athletic trainer Steve Donohue.

After playing defense, Urshela was pulled out of the game in the seventh inning, with DJ LeMahieu moving over to the hot corner and Luke Voit taking over at first base.
