25 Gleyber Torres SS

Torres assessed his performance in Grapefruit League play as "not really good," Pete Caldera of NorthJersey.com reports.

Torres had a mildly disappointing spring at the plate -- he hit .200/.241/.360 with a home run and six RBI in 29 plate appearances -- but defense was his primary struggle as he committed five errors in 23 total chances. Per Caldera, Torres has kept in touch with ex-teammate Didi Gregorious, taking tips from the team's starting shortstop last season in an attempt to solidify his own mechanics on the field. Torres remains locked in as the Yankees' everyday shortstop, and the team will no doubt practice patience with his defensive development as long as he continues to produce offensively.

Torres committed his fifth error of the spring during Tuesday's Grapefruit League contest against Toronto.

Torres sailed a throw leading off the second inning, though teammate Gerrit Cole retired the next three batters to avoid any damage. Torres is tied for the league lead with five errors in 23 chances in Grapefruit League play but tops the Yankees with six RBI. His shaky spring defense is unlikely to put his Opening Day role in jeopardy but could be a cause for concern if it carries over into the regular season.

Torres went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a pair of walks Tuesday in a 4-1 loss to the Astros in Game 3 of the ALCS.

Torres touched up Houston reliever Joe Smith with one out in the eighth inning after starter Gerrit Cole had tossed seven scoreless innings. It was the second homer of the series and third of the postseason for Torres, who has at least one hit in all six playoff games and is slashing a cool .417/.481/.958 with 10 RBI in 24 at-bats. The 22-year-old has also chipped in with a pair of stolen bases in the postseason after stealing only five during the regular season.

Torres (hamstring) is starting at second base and hitting third Tuesday against the Rays, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

As expected, Torres has been cleared to rejoin the starting lineup for Tuesday's series opener against Tampa Bay after missing a pair of games over the weekend. The second baseman, who is hitting .271 with five home runs and an .890 OPS through 15 games this month, will face Yonny Chirinos in his first game back.

Torres (hamstring) said he felt good Sunday and expects to be in the lineup Tuesday against Tampa Bay, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

Torres was removed from the game Friday against the Blue Jays and was sent for an MRI, which came back clean. He missed the team's final two games over the weekend but is optimistic that he'll be good to return Tuesday against the Rays. The Yankees already clinched their division but are competing with the Astros for the top record in the American League, and Torres' presence will certainly provide them with a good shot to lock up home-field advantage for the playoffs.

The news on Torres is positive; his MRI was negative and he said he feels ready to play already after leaving Friday's game with weakness in his legs.

An MRI on Torres' right hamstring came back negative, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Torres reported feeling good Saturday after leaving Friday's game with leg weakness, but the Yankees weren't taking any chances with their star infielder.

Torres will undergo an MRI on his right hamstring Saturday, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

After leaving Friday's game with weakness in his legs, Torres was to be checked out by the medical staff Saturday. It's not clear if he's been evaluated yet as there has been no follow-up from the Yankees. Tyler Wade is set to man second base in place of Torres, who should be considered day-to-day until further notice.

Torres went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a loss to Detroit on Tuesday.

Torres' power surge has come with a .295/.344/.693 slash line, and though one thing that could stand between him and a 40-HR campaign is how much rest he gets down the stretch to prepare for the playoffs.
