• Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Cranks first home run

  Rotowire May 2, 2024

  Torres went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Orioles. Torres led off the sixth inning with a 418-foot shot to center field off Keegan Akin, cutting the Yankees' deficit to 7-2. While it didn't ultimately impact the final score, the home run was certainly a weight off of Torres' shoulders -- he'd gone 32 games without a long ball to start the campaign, a homerless streak of 53 regular-season games if you go back to Torres' last home run Sept. 7. The 27-year-old second baseman is now slashing a disappointing .218/.295/.274 to open the year with 15 runs scored, seven RBI and three stolen bases.

• Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Leading off Saturday

  Rotowire Mar 30, 2024

  Torres will start at second base and lead off Saturday against the Astros. A pitch off his right thumb forced Torres from Friday's game, but X-rays were negative and it appears the second baseman won't even miss a start as a result of the injury. Torres, who is 0-for-7 with a walk and a run scored through two games this season, appears set to handle primary leadoff duties in the absence of DJ LeMahieu (foot), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

• Yankees' Gleyber Torres: X-rays negative

  Rotowire Mar 29, 2024

  X-rays on Torres' right thumb came back negative Friday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports. Torres took a pitch off his right thumb in the top of the seventh inning of Friday's contest and initially remained in the game to run around the bases. However, he requested to be removed during the bottom of the seventh due to concerns over his ability to throw the ball. It seems the 27-year-old second baseman was able to escape without any serious damage to his thumb, but he may still sit out a game or two to recover.
