Mid lane, sure. A pretty hard one, since as you said his ghouls are free mana for Malzahar. Top lane is a problem since Malzahar will pretty much push a lane and get ganked. Yorick is actually really good at following ganks, so that is a pretty risky lane for Malzahar.

And Yorick being mana starved is a thing all game. One long teamfight means he probably will run dry. Tear helps him sustain but wont make up for the huge amounts of mana Yorick spends (low cooldown spammable stuff means you either have chalice or you are OOM pretty damn soon).
