Gleyber Torres returned from his groin tightness to get back in the lineup Tuesday vs. the Rays, with Aaron Boone hoping the issue is now behind him.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Shortly after returning from his two-game mental “reset,” Gleyber Torres spent the past two games before Tuesday getting a physical break.
“Hopefully just making sure he’s handling the things he needs to do weight room-wise, training room-wise, just his pregame and making sure he’s getting ready properly,” Boone said before the. “Hopefully it’s not something we have to deal with. And honestly, we’ve avoided a real problem. I think both times it’s cropped up, it’s been fairly minor.”Boone kept Torres out of the lineup Saturday and Sunday, combined with Monday’s team off day, to make sure he was fully ready to go Tuesday.
“Last year he was our second-best hitter behind Aaron Judge and was our best hitter once Judge went down. You know what caliber of player he is. We’re anxiously and hopefully waiting on that, because I know he can have a really positive impact on that lineup.” It’s possible Beeter will miss the rest of the season, which would be a hit to the Yankees’ starting pitching depth — or potentially a late-season bullpen weapon.
