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.
