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.
