Torres went 2-for-5 with a homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's victory over Tampa Bay.
Torres hit a two-run homer off righty starter Corey Kluber with nobody out in the sixth to cut the Yankees' deficit to two. Like most of his team, the shortstop has struggled mightily in August with a .183 batting average and .250 slugging percentage in 60 at-bats over 15 games. Furthermore, the 25-year-old only has three RBI during that span.

Rotowire
Torres went 2-for-9 with a two-run home run in Game 2 of a doubleheader against the Astros on Thursday.

Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Back in lineup Wednesday
Rotowire
Torres (wrist/ankle) is starting Wednesday's game against Oakland.
Torres was targeting a Thursday return to the lineup, but he'll ultimately start at second base and bat fifth in Wednesday's matchup. The 25-year-old left Sunday's game against Houston due to a mild ankle sprain, but his absence over the last few days was mainly due to a sore wrist that he's been dealing with for several weeks. However, he received a cortisone shot Monday and is now back to good health.
Torres (wrist/ankle) said he expects to return to the Yankees lineup for Thursday's game in Houston, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
Torres' departure from his last start Sunday against the Astros was attributed to a mild ankle sprain, but it's an inflamed right wrist that's the greater concern for the infielder at this time. The 25-year-old acknowledged that he's been dealing with a sore wrist for about three weeks, but fortunately, the cortisone shot he received Monday to address the injury already seems to have yielded favorable results. Torres said he'll play catch and perhaps pick up a bat Tuesday, though he'll be out of the lineup against the Athletics for the second day in a row. He's hopeful to play in Wednesday's series finale, but due to the quick turnaround for that game, Thursday's matchup with the Astros looks like a more realistic target for his return.

Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Still sitting Tuesday
Rotowire
Torres (wrist) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
Torres received a cortisone shot Monday to address inflammation in his right wrist, and he'll need at least one more day for the injection to take effect and ideally resolve the swelling that he's been experiencing. The Yankees will re-evaluate Torres early Wednesday to see if he's ready to go, but it wouldn't be surprising if he ends up missing his third consecutive game. Marwin Gonzalez will pick up a start Tuesday while Torres sits.

Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Dealing with wrist injury
Rotowire
Torres, who isn't starting Monday against the Athletics, received a cortisone shot to address inflammation in his right wrist and will likely miss at least two games as a result, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.
Torres sustained a mild ankle sprain Sunday against the Astros but has moved past that issue ahead of Monday's series opener against Oakland. However, he underwent an MRI on his wrist that revealed inflammation, and Torres received a shot to address the injury with the hope that it speeds up his recovery time. It's not yet clear whether his wrist issue will lead to a trip to the injured list.

Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Dealing with mild ankle sprain
Rotowire
Torres was diagnosed with a mild ankle sprain after leaving Sunday's win over the Astros, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.
Torres was hurt when he was tagged out at third base in the bottom of the ninth inning Sunday, but manager Aaron Boone downplayed the severity of the injury after the game. Boone said that Torres "dodged a bullet," so the infielder should be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's series opener against the Athletics.

Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Hurts ankle late in Sunday's game
Rotowire
Torres was removed in the top of the 10th inning of Sunday's game against the Astros after he appeared to tweak his right ankle in the previous half inning, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports. He went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base before departing the contest.
Though Torres was able to put weight on the ankle after exiting in the field in the bottom of the ninth inning, he looked to be in pain after he was tagged out at third base on a pickoff attempt. Marwin Gonzalez came on to replace Torres in Sunday's contest, but Joey Gallo could be the bigger beneficiary from a playing-time standpoint if Torres' ankle issue forces him to the 10-day injured list. For now, the Yankees will presumably view Torres as day-to-day.

Yankees' Gleyber Torres: Not starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Torres is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
With Isiah Kiner-Falefa (hamstring) back in the lineup after a three-game absence to bring the New York infield back to full strength, Torres will head to the bench. Even though Torres is without a direct path to an everyday role at second base or shortstop, the Yankees should be able to carve out at least a handful of starts per week for him by rotating rest days among their regulars.
