Wed Mar 2717:50Gleyber Torres Will Bat Leadoff On Opening Day
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.

Wed Mar 1321:42Gleyber Torres Stays Hot With Solo Blast
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.

Wed Feb 2117:54Gleyber Torres Expected To Hit Between Fourth And Sixth
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.

Wed Feb 2112:25Gleyber Torres Wants "To Be A Yankee For Life"
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.

Thu Feb 1516:56Yankees Haven't Had Extension Talks With Gleyber Torres
New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that the team has not had any extension talks with second baseman Gleyber Torres, noting that he is their second baseman "for this season." Torres is in the final year of his deal and will become a free agent after the 2024 season if the two sides don't reach a long-term extension. The 27-year-old was a bright spot for the Yankees last year, slashing .273/.347/.453 with 25 home runs, 68 RBI, 13 stolen bases and 90 runs scored in 672 trips to the plate. He managed to lower his strikeout rate considerably and has now reached the 24-homer mark in four of his last five full seasons, which is an achievement for a second baseman. Regardless of whether he remains in New York beyond this year, Torres will be a solid second base target in fantasy in what should be a more productive Yankees lineup.

Thu Jan 1123:01Gleyber Torres, Yankees Avoid Arbitration
Infielder Gleyber Torres and the New York Yankees agreed to a one-year, $14.2 million deal for 2024 on Thursday to avoid salary arbitration. A career-low 14.6 percent strikeout rate helped Torres to a fine offensive season in 2023. He finished with a .273/.347/.453 slash line, an .800 OPS, 25 home runs, 28 doubles, two triples, 13 stolen bases and 90 runs scored in 672 plate appearances over a career-high 158 games played. The two-time All-Star has settled in as New York's everyday second baseman and should hit high in the batting order again in 2024, giving him plenty of fantasy appeal for a Yankees lineup that should be stronger next season. Torres has produced 24 home runs in four of his five full major-league seasons, giving fantasy managers a solid floor.

Tue Jan 913:23Yankees Ready To Part Ways With Gleyber Torres?
The Athletic's Brendan Kuty writes that it doesn't seem likely that the New York Yankees will look to keep infielder Gleyber Torres around long term. Torres has said he wants to remain with the team for the rest of his career, but the Yankees have discussed dealing him at each of the last two trade deadlines and haven't started any kind of extension talks with him. New York could also consider trading him at this year's deadline before he becomes a free agent next winter. The Yankees will want to extend outfielder Juan Soto next year, and ace Gerrit Cole will almost certainly use his opt-out in his nine-year, $324 million deal, but the Yankees will counter by activating their 10th-year option. The 27-year-old was a bright spot for the Bombers in a disappointing 2023 campaign, so if Torres has another good year in 2024, he'll certainly want to see what he can get on the open market.

Fri Nov 10 202300:20Red Sox Might Be Interested In Gleyber Torres Again
The Boston Red Sox identified New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres as a trade target last season, with outfielder Alex Verdugo being of interest to New York, according to major-league sources. It appears the two rivals might be returning to that conversation again this offseason. Torres is viewed by some in Boston as an excellent fit, offering the kind of stability at second base that the team didn't have in 2023. The 26-year-old has one more year of arbitration eligibility and is predicted to make just over $14 million next season. Torres finished with an .800 OPS with 25 home runs, 13 stolen bases and a .273 batting average in 158 games for the Yanks in 2023 as one of the most reliable players at the keystone in the league. The swap would make a lot of sense, but the Yankees and Red Sox don't typically make deals with each other.

Sun Oct 1 202313:29Gleyber Torres Taking A Seat In The Season Finale
New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Kansas City Royals.

New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres went 2-for-3 at the plate with a home run and a walk, losing to the Tigers 10-3 on Thursday. Torres homer marked his 25th of the season. Despite the Yankees having a tough campaign, the right-handed batter has been solid offensively but will not reach his career-high 38 home runs that he hit in 2019. The 24-year-old has slashed .275/.343/.472 and collected 62 RBI in 517 trips to the plate this year.

New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres (back) remains out of Saturday's starting lineup versus the Houston Astros. The 26-year-old was scratched on Friday due to a back issue. It doesn't sound like he'll require a trip to the injured list, which is good news for fantasy managers. Oswald Peraza will cover second base and bat eighth versus right-hander Hunter Brown on Saturday. The hope is that Torres will be back in the lineup within the next few days.

Fri Sep 1 202319:40Gleyber Torres Scratched With Back Issue
New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres (back) was scratched from Friday's starting lineup against the Houston Astros with a back issue. With Torres now out, Oswald Peraza will move to second base and bat ninth, with Isiah Kiner-Falefa playing third base and hitting sixth against Astros right-hander Justin Verlander. Until we know more about Torres' back injury, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day heading into the rest of the weekend. Check back on Saturday for an update on his condition. The 26-year-old Venezuelan is having a strong year in the Bronx in 2023, slashing .270/.339/.459 with 23 home runs, 57 RBI, 13 stolen bases and 74 runs scored in 503 at-bats. He finished the month of August hitting .327 (35-for-107) with seven long balls, eight doubles, 13 RBI, five stolen bases and 17 runs scored in 28 starts.

Thu Aug 24 202318:14Gleyber Torres Belts 20th Home Run In Thursday's Loss
New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and a strikeout in a 6-5 loss to the Washington Nationals on Thursday. Torres gave the Yankees a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the third inning when he took Nats starter Patrick Corbin deep with DJ LeMahieu aboard. The 26-year-old's other two hits in the contest were both singles. The Yankees' struggles in August have been well-documented but Torres has been far from the problem. He's slashing .333/. 407/.543 with four home runs, eight RBI, and four stolen bases over 81 at-bats this month. He's had an inconsistent season overall, though, much like the Yankees as a team. Torres is rocking a .268/.334/.442 batting line to go along with 20 home runs, 52 RBI, and 12 stolen bases over 477 at-bats on the year.

Tue Jul 25 202312:37Gleyber Torres To Return To Lineup
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that infielder Gleyber Torres (hip) is healthy and will return to the starting lineup on Tuesday against the visiting New York Mets and right-hander Justin Verlander. Torres left the game on Sunday early against the Kansas City Royals with hip tightness, but he'll be back in action after the team's off day on Monday. The 26-year-old should be returned to all fantasy lineups after a strong start to the second half of the season. Torres is currently riding an impressive 13-game hitting streak, going 20-for-53 (.377) with three home runs, a triple, seven RBI, a stolen base and 10 runs scored in that span. In nine games since the All-Star break, he's hitting. 378 (14-for-37).

Sun Jul 23 202317:08Gleyber Torres Dealing With Hip Tightness
Updating a previous report, New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres (hip) exited Sunday's game against the Royals after experiencing tightness in his hip. The 26-year-old had a solid showing before leaving, amassing two RBI and a homer in three at-bats. The Yankees are off on Monday, so it may be a little longer before the team provides an update on his condition. But for now, fantasy managers should plan on Torres being out there for Tuesday's game versus the New York Mets.

Sun Jul 23 202316:38Gleyber Torres Exits Sunday's Game
New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres (undisclosed) exited Sunday's win over the Kansas City Royals. It's unknown why he was pulled from the game. However, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com speculated that he may have "bumped his head" while making a throw to first base in the third inning. The 26-year-old had a fantastic game prior to his premature departure, going 1-for-3 with two RBI and one homer before being replaced by Anthony Volpe. The Yanks are off on Monday before commencing a two-game set with the Mets on Tuesday. Torres may be available, although fantasy managers will probably get an update by Monday at the latest.

Tue Jun 27 202321:10Gleyber Torres Getting A Rest On Tuesday
New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres will sit out for Tuesday's matchup with Paul Blackburn and the Oakland Athletics. The former top prospect is slashing .246/.322/.419 with 12 dingers, 42 runs, 30 RBI, and six steals across 77 games. It'll be Josh Donaldson in the lineup instead, playing third and batting sixth. The 13-year veteran is struggling right now with the bat and is batting just .125 with six homers, nine runs, and eight RBI over 21 games this season. Fantasy managers can still stream Donaldson for his power, but it looks like he's losing playing time, severely limiting his value as a fantasy asset.

Wed May 31 202315:30Gleyber Torres Shines Again In Yankees' Fourth Straight Win
New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres had another great game as his team won its fourth straight game on Tuesday night. Torres has played quite well in the series against the Seattle Mariners and is likely to continue this form. In the series against Seattle, the 26-year-old second baseman is 4-for-11 and has scored three runs. Fantasy managers should continue to ride the hot hand of Torres for the last game against the Mariners on Wednesday. In the month of May, he has batted .287 with a .333 on-base percentage, which indicates that he has been in form lately. With George Kirby on the mound for the Mariners on Wednesday, Torres could have another multi-hit game, as he has been better against right-handed pitchers this season.

Wed May 17 202300:25Gleyber Torres Plates Two In Tuesday Win
New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres had a nice game at the plate in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jays. Torres went 2-for-4 with two singles and two RBI. The 26-year-old has gotten off to a decent start to the season, slashing .257/.348/.441 with six home runs, 21 RBI, and five stolen bases. It may not be quite as much as fantasy managers were hoping for, but he has given consistent contributions at a relatively shallow position. He should continue to be a staple in fantasy managers' lineups as long as he and the Yankees' offense continue to produce.

Wed Apr 12 202312:23Gleyber Torres Available To Play Wednesday
New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres (hip) said he's available to play on Wednesday against the Cleveland Guardians and is feeling much better after leaving Tuesday's game with hip flexor tightness. Torres is a little bit sore, and he'll start Wednesday's game on the bench. In his place, Oswaldo Cabrera will start at the keystone and hit sixth against Guardians right-hander Peyton Battenfield. Torres should be back in the Yankees starting lineup for their next game. The 26-year-old is off to a very nice start in 2023, going 13-for-35 (.371) with a league-leading .522 on-base percentage, two doubles, a triple, two home runs, six RBI, five stolen bases, eight runs scored and a league-leading 11 walks through just 11 games.
