ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Gio Urshela wasn’t in Yankees manager Aaron Boone’s lineup Wednesday night against right-hander Charlie Morton one game after getting hit on the left hand in Tuesday night’s loss. X-rays were negative.

“I would expect him to be back in there on Friday,’’ Boone said of Urshela, who is hitless in his last 18 at-bats. “Little bit of soreness, not a lot of swelling. He doesn’t seem to be too worried about it, so hopefully back in there Friday.’’

Gleyber Torres had a tough night. He was charged with a team-leading 20th error in the seventh, failed to glove a foul pop from the next batter and fouled a ball off the right side of his face in the ninth before striking out for the final out.

“My teeth are good, that is most important to me,’’ Torres said after the Yankees’ 4-0 loss to the Rays.

Luis Cessa threw one pitch and Avail Garcia hit it for a homer in the eighth inning, and Cessa was removed from the game. He is the fifth Yankees pitcher since 1908 to give up a homer on his only pitch. Other former Yankees who matched that ignominious feat are Chasen Shreve, Boone Logan, Mike Stanton and Graeme Lloyd.

The Twins hit two homers Wednesday night and moved into a tie for the major league lead with the Yankees at 299.
