Updating a previous report, Gyorko is expected to miss at least the next two games with the groin injury he suffered in Tuesday's contest against the Pirates, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The valued infielder was slated to be examined at some point Wednesday by the team's medical staff, and manager Mike Shildt hasn't ruled out the possibility of a stint on the disabled list. Gyorko's post-game comment that the injury felt worse than previous instances when he's come up lame is far from encouraging, but further updates will shed clarity on his official expected recovery timeline.

Gyorko hit a pinch-hit go-ahead solo home run in a win over the Dodgers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Gyorko smacked the first of two round trippers off Kenley Jansen in the ninth, snapping a 3-3 tie. The veteran infielder is in the midst of a mini power surge, one that's seen him leave the yard on three occasions over the last seven games. That's allowed him to already match the three homers he launched in July, and even with the expected return of Yairo Munoz (wrist) on Tuesday, Gyorko should still log plenty of playing time at third base moving forward.
