Gleyber Torres's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

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.
