Marlins' Christopher Torres: Out with minor injury
Rotowire
Torres suffered a minor injury this spring, but is expected to be ready for game action in the near future, MLB.com's Mike Rosenbaum reports.
He would be an afterthought in most systems, but was a top-10 prospect in the Mariners system before being traded to Miami as part of the Dee Gordon package, and is a top-20 prospect for the Marlins. Torres has some power and speed with a questionable hit tool. He should be assigned to Low-A Greensboro once fully healthy.

Marlins' Christopher Torres: Headed to Miami
Rotowire
Torres, along with Robert Dugger and Nick Neidert, was traded from the Mariners to the Marlins in exchange for Dee Gordon on Thursday.
Torres was signed by the Mariners in 2014 as an international prospect. He spent most of his 2017 campaign with short-season Everett, hitting .238/.324/.435 with six homers and 13 stolen bases in 48 games. The switch-hitting shortstop is more advanced from the left side of the plate. He projects as a plus defender with above-average speed.
