The New York Yankees removed second baseman Gleyber Torres (hip/groin) from Tuesday's contest against the Cleveland Guardians after experiencing tightness in his hip and groin area. According to Pete Caldera of USA Today, manager Aaron Boone will likely keep the 26-year-old out of Wednesday's lineup, but he doesn't think it's a significant issue. The Yankees and fantasy managers are hoping Torres comes back as soon as possible, as he's slashing .371/.522/.657 with two homers, eight runs, eight RBI, and five stolen bases in just 11 games. When he returns, he should continue contributing value in every category.

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres is hitting leadoff on Monday against right-hander Shane Bieber and the Cleveland Guardians on the road for the first game of the series. It's the second time that Torres will hit leadoff this year. The 26-year-old middle infielder is off to a hot start offensively with a .357 average (10-for-28) with a double, two home runs, six RBI, six runs scored and five stolen bases in the first nine games of the season. Hitting leadoff on Monday gives him a bit more fantasy upside, although he's also facing one of the best pitchers in the game in Bieber, so DFS managers may want to look elsewhere.

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres had a solid day at the dish in Thursday's Opening Day contest, going 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk, two runs, two RBI, and a stolen base. But after much speculation that he would hit at the top of the order, Yankees manager Aaron Boone batted him in the sixth spot of the lineup. Torres has the skillset to bat near the top, as he slashed .257/.310/.451 with 24 homers, 73 runs, 76 RBI, and 10 stolen bases over 140 games in 2022. The 26-year-old will likely move around in the lineup, and he has the talent to produce another 20-10 season, but if he's consistently in the bottom half, that will hurt his counting stats for 2023.

The New York Yankees and second baseman Gleyber Torres avoided arbitration after agreeing to a one-year, $9.995 million deal. The two parties were initially at odds, with Torres filing at $10.2 million and the Yankees offering $9.7. The second baseman has been involved in extensive discussions to be traded at the deadline with Pablo Lopez as the centerpiece, but the Yanks continue to endorse Torres as their second baseman. The 26-year-old cranked 24 HRs while slashing .257/.310/.451 with a .761 OPS. He also amassed 114 OPS+ with a 22.6% strikeout rate. If Torres can show more consistency on the field and at the plate, he should find himself in the Yankees lineup every day despite recent reports that he could find himself on the bench more in 2023.

Last season, when New York Yankees infielders DJ LeMahieu and Gleyber Torres were both healthy on Opening Day, LeMahieu started at second base and Torres was on the bench. The next game, LeMahieu started at third base, which forced Josh Donaldson to the bench and Torres to second. LeMahieu is expected to resume seeing everyday at-bats in a utility role in 2023 if he's healthy, playing mostly second base while jumping in at third and first base when necessary. At shortstop, Isiah Kiner-Falefa is expected to compete for the starting job with prospects Oswald Peraza and Anthony Volpe. So barring injuries at either short or second base, Torres doesn't project as an everyday player for the Yankees, which is obviously bad news for his fantasy value. The 26-year-old hit .257/.310/.451 with a .761 OPS, 24 home runs, 76 RBI, 73 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 140 games for the Yanks last year.

New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres is once again batting leadoff for the team as they get set to take on the Cleveland Guardians and right-hander Aaron Civale in the fifth game of an American League Division Series matchup. Torres only logged 12 plate appearances as New York's leadoff hitter during the regular season, but he's hitting atop Aaron Boone's lineup for the third straight game on Monday. So far, he's collected three hits and a stolen base in 16 postseason plate appearances this year.

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres (illness) is starting at second base and is batting third in Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Tuesday against Cleveland Guardians right-hander Cal Quantrill. Torres wasn't available to close out the regular season, but he rested up last week and is ready to go for the team's first playoff game of 2022. The 25-year-old finished the year off strong, hitting .323 (31-for-96) with six home runs, 25 RBI, 16 runs scored and four stolen bases in 24 games dating back to Sept. 2. Overall, the two-time All-Star batted .257/.310/.451 with 24 home runs, 76 RBI, 73 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 572 plate appearances and 140 games for the Yanks.

New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres (illness) remains out of the starting lineup for the regular season finale on Wednesday against the Texas Rangers. It will be Torres' fifth straight missed game to close out the regular season while he deals with an illness, but he should be ready to go for the start of the American League Division Series next week. The 25-year-old will finish his 2022 regulars season with a .257/.310/.451 slash line to go along with 24 home runs, 76 RBI, 73 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 140 games played. DJ LeMahieu is getting the start at the keystone and is hitting leadoff on Wednesday, while Oswald Peraza is at shortstop and batting fifth against Rangers right-hander Glenn Otto.

New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres (illness) remains out of the starting lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday. Torres was feeling under the weather on Monday and was scratched from the lineup, but perhaps he'll return to action for Game 2. Consider him day-to-day to close out the regular season. With Torres out for another game, rookie Oswald Peraza is getting the start at the keystone and is hitting sixth against Rangers right-hander Jon Gray. In his first 39 major-league at-bats over 15 games played, Peraza has 13 hits (no homers), just one RBI, five runs scored and six strikeouts for the Yanks.

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres (illness) was scratched from the starting lineup on Monday against the Texas Rangers because he's "under the weather," according to skipper Aaron Boone. Torres should be considered day-to-day for the final regular season series of 2022, but hopefully he'll be able to play either Tuesday or Wednesday before the team kicks off the American League Division Series next week. With the 25-year-old sitting out, Isiah Kiner-Falefa will start at shortstop and bat seventh against Rangers left-hander Martin Perez on Monday. IKF finished off the month of September hitting .273 (21-for-77) with three home runs, 10 RBI and 12 runs scored in 21 games played.

New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres led the way with three hits and three RBI in his five at-bats during a division-title-clinching 5-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays Tuesday. Torres has a 1.333 OPS and 11 RBI in his last seven games. He's been among the most productive players in the majors during the month of September, slashing .333/.404/.598 in 98 plate appearances.

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres had a couple of hits in Saturday's 10-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays with a run and an RBI. Despite the game, the 25-year-old has struggled recently, batting .195 with just three home runs over the last month. He's bounced back compared to his last two seasons, but Torres is still slashing just .238/.291/.413 with 19 HRs, 54 RBI, 61 runs, and seven stolen bases over 124 games. There are plenty of shortstops better than the Venezuelan, though fantasy managers should roster him in every league because of his power and decent speed.

New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. This appears to be a routine day off for the young infielder. Torres is hitting .177/.202/.250 over his last 24 games in August. He could certainly use a day off to help get him back on track. DJ LeMahieu will play second base and bat leadoff against right-hander Mike Mayers on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should expect Torres to return next game.

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres took an 0-for-3 in Wednesday's 4-3 loss against the Seattle Mariners. He did walk once, but he's been ice cold over his last 15 games, batting .184 with a single home run. Torres has still bounced back quite a bit from his previous two seasons, slashing .252/.306/.447 with 16 HRs, 51 runs, 47 RBI, and five stolen bases across 100 games. The 25-year-old's offering a good combination of everything, but fantasy managers need to monitor his play moving forward to make sure the player who posted a .697 OPS in 2021 hasn't returned.

New York Yankees middle infielder Gleyber Torres' (ankle, wrist) ankle is doing well, but he underwent an MRI exam on his right wrist on Monday. His wrist is structurally sound, but he received a cortisone injection and is unlikely to swing a bat until Wednesday. Torres suffered a mild ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Houston Astros, and he's not in the starting lineup on Monday against the Oakland Athletics. The 25-year-old is also dealing with a bum right wrist, so there's a good chance he'll be out through at least Wednesday. Hopefully for his fantasy managers, the combination of the ankle and wrist injury won't affect his swing at the dish moving forward. Torres has been making much more hard contact in 2022 and is already up to 13 home runs.

New York Yankees middle infielder Gleyber Torres (ankle) is not in the starting lineup on Monday against the Oakland Athletics. Torres will take a seat after suffering a mild ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Houston Astros. There's a chance that he misses Tuesday's game as well, but the Yankees are confident that his injury isn't very serious. The 25-year-old Venezuelan is hitting just .250, but he's been more productive at the plate this year with 13 home runs, 32 RBI, 33 runs scored and four stolen bases in 228 at-bats so far for the Yanks. DJ LeMahieu is starting at the keystone and is hitting leadoff on Monday against A's right-hander Paul Blackburn. LeMahieu will be a fine DFS target on Monday in the leadoff spot.

New York Yankees middle infielder Gleyber Torres is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against right-hander Shane Baz and the Tampa Bay Rays. Isiah Kiner-Falefa is returning from a hamstring injury and he'll be covering shortstop for the game while DJ LeMahieu will be manning the keystone. Torres has been solid at the plate all year, but he's been especially hot in June. Over 16 games this month, he's slashing .298/.375/.632 with four home runs, seven doubles, eight RBI and 15 runs.

New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres has been working to find his swing after he hit too many ground balls last season. Torres' on-base percentage is at a career-low, but he has already hit 12 home runs in 2022, three more than he hit last season. His fly-ball rate has taken a big jump, he has hit the ball harder and he has regained some confidence at the plate. "He has really turned the clock back," general manager Brian Cashman said. "It's been what we thought we had, not what we've been seeing the last year and a half." His ground-ball rate has dropped from 41.5% last year to 32.5% this year, while his hard-hit rate was at 25.8% in 2021 compared to 37.3% so far in 2022.

Updating a previous report, New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres (stomach) is "a little under the weather," according to manager Aaron Boone. However, it's not believed to be a COVID situation. Torres was scratched from the team's starting lineup against Chicago Cubs right-hander Keegan Thompson, but there's a good chance that he'll be back in the lineup on Tuesday after an off day on Monday. DJ LeMahieu is now starting at the keystone and is hitting cleanup against the Cubs. He'll be a strong DFS option in the series finale. Torres is slashing .253/.299/.495 with 12 home runs, 28 RBI, 23 runs scored and one stolen base on the year in 186 at-bats for the Yankees. Make sure to remove him from fantasy lineups on Sunday.

With Josh Donaldson also getting the day off, Matt Carpenter will play third base and bat fifth, while DJ LeMahieu will shift to the keystone and hit cleanup against Cubs right-hander Keegan Thompson. If Torres is dealing with an injury, we'll update you. The 25-year-old middle infielder has provided plenty of power this year with 12 home runs, and he's hitting .253/.299/.495 with 28 RBI, 23 runs scored and a stolen base in 186 at-bats. Outfielder Aaron Judge, who slugged two home runs on Saturday night, will occupy the leadoff spot on Sunday.
