X-Rays Negative On Gleyber Torres' Thumb
1 month agoNew 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.
