New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres had a solid showing on Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a homer and four RBI in a 10-3 win over the Colorado Rockies. Torres hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning to put this one away. It was a sorely needed confidence boost for the 27-year-old, who last homered on July 24. This year has been a struggle for Torres, who hasn't come close to matching his preseason expectations. That being said, he is hitting leadoff ahead of Juan Soto, Aaron Judge, and Giancarlo Stanton, which is about the best situation possible for a hitter. If he can get hot, he could put up a ton of counting stats in a hurry.

New York Yankees outfielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. could see time at third base for his new team, manager Aaron Boone said on Sunday. The dynamic trade deadline acquisition has played a lot of second base and some shortstop in the majors, so the transition to third makes some sense on that front. The Yankees will have a crowded outfield when Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) returns this week and they need to find a spot for Chisholm to play. Boone also noted that Gleyber Torres could see reps at third base, opening up second base for Chisholm. Either way, both Jazz and Gleyber should see everyday at-bats for the Yankees and the third base eligibility will increase both of their fantasy values.

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss versus the New York Yankees. The home run would be his second in as many days for the upcoming free-agent. Torres has been a minor disappointment for managers this season, but the All-Star break may have been what he needed to reset his mind and body. It should also be noted that Torres was in the No. 1 spot of the lineup Wednesday and it will be interesting to see if sticks there. For the season, Torres is now hitting .232 with 10 homers, 37 RBI and four stolen bases in 353 at-bats. Hopefully the last few games are a sign of good things to come as managers have been patient long enough with the second baseman.

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres will start at second base and bat leadoff for the Yankees on Wednesday against the visiting New York Mets and left-hander Sean Manaea. It will be the first time that Torres has appeared atop the Yankees' batting order since April 9. The 27-year-old Venezuelan infielder is having a rough year after hitting 25 homers and driving in 68 runs in 2023, as he enters Wednesday's contest with a career-low .230 average (80-for-348) with only nine home runs, 36 RBI and four stolen bases in 97 games played. Hitting in the leadoff spot will make him more attractive as a DFS sleeper, although Torres has hit a weak .218 (17-for-78) with four of his nine home runs against southpaws in 2024. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues will be hoping that the move to the leadoff spot on Wednesday against a lefty will spark him offensively.

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres (groin) is back at second base and is hitting fifth in the Yankees lineup against the hosting Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Ryan Pepiot. Groin soreness had kept Torres out of the team's lineup since last Friday, but he'll return on Tuesday to face the division-rival Rays. Torres had been slumping pretty hard in the middle of June and for most of the season before recently picking things up at the plate recently. Since June 28, he's gone 8-for-26 (.308) with a homer, double, four RBI and four runs scored in seven games played. But the 27-year-old Venezuelan has mostly been a disappointment for fantasy managers in 2024, slashing .223/.297/.344 with a below-average .641 OPS, eight homers, 33 RBI and four steals in 314 at-bats. Torres has never faced Pepiot in his career.

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres (groin) is not in the team's starting lineup on Saturday against the visiting division-rival Boston Red Sox. Torres was forced to exit Friday night's contest early due to groin tightness and will expectedly sit out the very next day. The 27-year-old infielder didn't require any imaging after the injury, so it appears it's not a very serious ailment. Consider Torres day-to-day for now and check back on Sunday to see if he's back in the starting lineup. He's been in a funk offensively all year, so perhaps a little time off will help him. Torres is currently hitting .223/.297/.344 with eight home runs, 33 RBI and four stolen bases in 87 games for the Yanks. Oswaldo Cabrera will get the start at the keystone on Saturday and will bat in the eight-hole against Red Sox right-hander Josh Winckowski.

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres (undisclosed) was removed early from Friday night's game against the Boston Red Sox after injuring himself beating out an infield single in the bottom of the fourth inning. Torres was replaced by Oswaldo Cabrera after being removed. The Yankees have yet to give detail on what Torres' injury is but more detail is expected to be released upon the game's completion and Torres should be considered day-to-day for now. The 27-year-old had dealt with groin issues in June. Torres had been subpar at the plate this season, hitting for just an 81 OPS+ in 312 AB. If he is to miss any time then it should be expected that Cabrera will receive Torres' playing time.UPDATE: Torres left with right-groin tightness. He was examined by a team physician and there are no plans for imaging at this time, suggesting it's a minor injury.

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres homered in his return to the lineup on Friday, going 2-for-4 in the 16-5 win over the Blue Jays while also logging a sacrifice fly that gave him three RBI on the day. His return comes after being benched the last two games for poor play. It has been a rough season for the 27-year-old, tallying just a .219-8-32-37-4 line with a .286 wOBA and an 86 wRC+. There aren't many reasons to think he'll turn it around, although for his career he's been somewhat more productive in the second half of the season, so perhaps this performance can be a springboard for his second half.

After being benched the last two games for poor play, New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres is back in action and is batting fifth for the Bombers against Toronto Blue Jays left-hander Yusei Kikuchi. Torres has been a pretty big disappointment for the Yankees and fantasy managers in 2024, but perhaps he can get going offensively on Friday in Toronto against Kikuchi, who he has hit .385 against in 26 career at-bats with a 1.006 OPS, a home run and four RBI. However, since June 14, the 27-year-old has just two hits in his 29 at-bats. The recent slump has dropped his season slash line to .215/.294/.333, while the Venezuelan infielder has added seven home runs, 29 RBI, four stolen bases and 36 runs scored. DFS gamers looking for a cheap streamer could give Torres a try, but those in redraft leagues may want to keep Torres benched until he breaks out of his funk.

After getting benched on Wednesday, New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres remains out of the starting lineup for Thursday's series opener in Toronto against the division-rival Blue Jays. Jahmai Jones will get the nod at the keystone and will bat sixth for the Yankees against Blue Jays right-hander Jose Berrios. Torres just hasn't played well of late, both offensively and defensively, and he's gone 2-for-29 (.069) with a homer, double, four RBI, four walks and seven strikeouts in his last nine games since June 14 to drop his season line to a disappointing .215/.294/.333 with a .628 OPS in 288 at-bats. The 27-year-old should eventually return to the starting lineup this weekend, but fantasy managers may want to keep him on their benches until he shows some signs of life with the lumber.UPDATE: Manager Aaron Boone said "there's a good chance" that Torres is back in the lineup on Friday night.

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres will take a seat on the bench for Wednesday's contest against the crosstown-rival New York Mets. Torres will retreat to the bench for the Yankees amidst his current slump at the plate. The 27-year-old Venezuelan infielder has just two hits in his last 29 at-bats (.069) with a homer, double, four RBI, four walks and seven strikeouts in his last nine games to drop his season line to .215/.294/.333 with seven home runs, 29 RBI, four stolen bases and 36 runs scored in 288 at-bats. It's been an especially disappointing campaign for his fantasy managers after he hit .273 last year with 25 home runs, 68 RBI and 13 steals in 158 games. Oswaldo Cabrera is handling the keystone on Wednesday and will hit in the nine-hole for the Yankees against Mets left-hander Sean Manaea.

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres (groin) is sitting out of the starting lineup for the start of a series on Friday against the visiting Atlanta Braves. Torres left Thursday's series finale against the division-rival Baltimore Orioles early as a precaution with right-groin soreness and will now miss at least one game. The 27-year-old's injury doesn't sound serious, so fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. With Torres out, Oswaldo Cabrera will make the start at the keystone and bat ninth against Braves tough left-hander Chris Sale. Torres has been one of the bigger disappointments for the first-place Yankees this year, hitting a career-low .221 (61-for-276) with seven home runs, 28 RBI and four stolen bases in 77 games played. Cabrera should be avoided in DFS lineups at the bottom of the order in a tough matchup.UPDATE: Manager Aaron Boone said Torres is day-to-day after he had a clean MRI exam.

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres (groin) left Thursday's blowout loss to the visiting Baltimore Orioles in the sixth inning with tightness in his right groin. However, manager Aaron Boone said he doesn't expect Torres' groin to be anything serious. It sounds like the Yankees pulled Torres as more of a precaution, and the nature of the score (the game ended 17-5) probably had something to do with it, too. Before departing Torres went 1-for-2 with his seventh home run of the year, a solo shot in the second inning. Even though the 27-year-old's injury is deemed minor, there's a chance he won't be in the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Atlanta Braves. After hitting 20-plus home runs each of the last two years, Torres has been a big disappointment for fantasy managers in 2024, as he entered Thursday's action hitting just .219 (60-for-274) in 76 games played.

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres launched his sixth home run of the season in Wednesday's win over the hosting Kansas City Royals, tallying three RBI in the lopsided victory. Torres hit a three-run homer off Royals left-hander Daniel Lynch IV to left field, extending the Yankees' lead to 11-2 in the seventh inning. It hasn't been an easy year for Torres, but the 27-year-old former top prospect is batting a respectable .267 with five long balls, 18 RBI, and 17 runs scored in his last 29 games over the past month since May 12. Torres isn't going to lead off for the Yankees anytime soon with the way Anthony Volpe is performing, but he still remains worth rostering in all fantasy leagues for his power upside at the keystone even in the lower part of New York's potent lineup.

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres continued his short-term offensive upswing in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Mariners. Torres went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, a walk, and a strikeout. The 27-year-old has been a fantasy disappointment on the season, slashing just .223/.301/.310 with three HR, 14 RBI, and four stolen bases in 207 plate appearances. However, he has shown some signs of life lately, batting .280 with four extra-base hits in his last seven games. Fantasy managers will want to see more of this before getting excited about him again, but his career track record and strong surrounding lineup are too good to give up on this early in the season.

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres (thumb) exited Friday's eventual 7-1 win over the Houston Astros after being hit in the hand by a pitch in the seventh inning, and X-rays on his injured right thumb came back negative following the game. Torres was able to stay in the contest and run the bases, but he couldn't continue thereafter and was replaced by Jahmai Jones in the bottom half of the seventh. He went 0-for-3 before departing. Consider Torres day-to-day ahead of Saturday's tilt against the Astros, as he appears to have avoided a more significant setback. With DJ LeMahieu (foot) already sidelined for New York, the 27-year-old two-time All-Star's injury opens the door to additional playing time for the recently-acquired Jon Berti at the keystone. Berti is worth a speculative add off fantasy waivers for his positional versatility and stolen base upside until Torres is back healthy.

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres is set to bat leadoff against the Houston Astros on Thursday. Yankees manager Aaron Boone made it official that Torres will take the first at-bat of the regular season for New York. It won't be an easy task against left-hander Framber Valdez. Boone said that Juan Soto is batting second and Aaron Judge hitting third. The move to the leadoff spot should give Torres a boost in fantasy value until DJ LeMahieu (foot) returns to the lineup.

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres continued his hot hitting during Wednesday's 9-4 Cactus League defeat to the division-rival Boston Red Sox, clobbering a solo home run in the fifth inning. With the effort, Torres is now hitting a strong .308 alongside a .960 OPS, two long balls, five RBI, and one stolen base in 26 at-bats this spring. It's unclear what spot the 27-year-old two-time All-Star's bat will settle in as part of New York's star-studded lineup in 2024, but whether he regularly leads off or hits from the heart of the order, Torres is in line for another very productive campaign as the everyday Yankees second baseman. After slashing a dependable .273/.347/.453 with 25 round-trippers, 68 RBI, and 13 stolen bases in 672 plate appearances last year, Torres is a fine fantasy choice at the keystone inside the top 100 picks once the top-tier options are off the board.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone sees second baseman Gleyber Torres hitting between fourth and sixth in the lineup this year, and also in the leadoff spot when needed. Boone thinks Torres is highly motivated heading into the final year of his current deal and thinks he can improve as a defender as well. Hitting in the heart of New York's improved batting order would make the 27-year-old infielder even more attractive as a top-five fantasy second baseman. DJ LeMahieu, Juan Soto and Aaron Judge are expected to fill the top three spots in the lineup for the Bombers. Torres' numbers don't exactly jump off the page, but don't forget that he's now reached 24 home runs in four of his five full seasons in the majors while also recording double-digit stolen bases in each of the last three campaigns.

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres, who is entering the final year of his deal in 2024, said on Wednesday at spring training that wants "to be a Yankee for life." However, there have been no extension talks with the team to this point. Torres said he understands the team's hesitancy since the last two extensions for Luis Severino and Aaron Hicks didn't work out due to injuries. The 27-year-old Torres has been a staple for the Yankees at the keystone the last two years, hitting a combined .266/.330/.452 with a .782 OPS, 49 home runs, 144 RBI and 23 stolen bases in 298 games played. Contract issues aside, Torres has maintained a solid power/speed combination at the second base position for fantasy managers and could have an even better year in 2024 in what should be an improved Yankees lineup.
