Gleyber Torres News
New 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.
New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres is set to bat leadoff against the Houston Astros on Thursday. Yankees manager Aaron Boone made it official that Torres will take the first at-bat of the regular season for New York. It won't be an easy task against left-hander Framber Valdez. Boone said that Juan Soto is batting second and Aaron Judge hitting third. The move to the leadoff spot should give Torres a boost in fantasy value until DJ LeMahieu (foot) returns to the lineup.
New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres continued his hot hitting during Wednesday's 9-4 Cactus League defeat to the division-rival Boston Red Sox, clobbering a solo home run in the fifth inning. With the effort, Torres is now hitting a strong .308 alongside a .960 OPS, two long balls, five RBI, and one stolen base in 26 at-bats this spring. It's unclear what spot the 27-year-old two-time All-Star's bat will settle in as part of New York's star-studded lineup in 2024, but whether he regularly leads off or hits from the heart of the order, Torres is in line for another very productive campaign as the everyday Yankees second baseman. After slashing a dependable .273/.347/.453 with 25 round-trippers, 68 RBI, and 13 stolen bases in 672 plate appearances last year, Torres is a fine fantasy choice at the keystone inside the top 100 picks once the top-tier options are off the board.

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres put forth another solid overall season in 2023, slashing .273/.347/.453 with 25 home runs, 90 runs scored, 68 RBI, and 13 stolen bases in 672 plate appearances. The 27-year-old replicated the power output he showed in 2022 as well as earlier in his career and saw his batting average jump back towards his career mark of .267. Even more encouraging, his walk rate from 2022 to 2023 rose from 6.8% to 10%, while he posted a career-low strikeout rate of 14.6%. Torres has shown fluctuations in both batting average and power throughout his career, but he has shown that he can be a five-category contributor in a strong Yankees lineup when everything is clicking. Torres is currently being drafted at about pick 93 overall, making him the eighth 2B off the board. Torres represents the end of a tier at his position and offers the most wide-spanning contributions compared to other hitters being drafted around him. As such, his current ADP seems like a reasonable value.
