.The Chicago Cubs acquired infielder Ronald Torreyes from the Yankees on Wednesday in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations. The 26-year-old Torreyes spent the last three years with New York and hit .280 in 41 games in 2018, but he was designated for assignment earlier this week. He can play second base, shortstop and third base and will serve as a utility infielder for Chicago in 2019. Torreys will have minimal fantasy value in NL-only leagues.

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres will be given a day off on Wednesday as the slumping rookie will give way to a familiar face. Ronald Torreyes, a fan favorite who was surprisingly demoted earlier this season will make his first start since returning to the major league club earlier this week. Torres, an All-Star in his first season, has seriously struggled since returning from a right hip strain in late July. In his last 30 games, the 21-year-old is hitting .200 and has been even worse as of late, recording just two hits in his last seven games. Torreyes, meanwhile, is a utility player capable of playing multiple positions. In 24 games this season, he was hitting .323 coming after a 2017 campaign that saw him hit .292 in 108 games. Starting at second base, he'll bat ninth against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday.

Torreyes was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday, Marc Carig of The Athletic reports.

Updating a previous post, New York Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia (knee) has been placed on the disabled list with inflammation in his right knee. Starter George Kontos was called up to take his place on the roster. The Yankees continued making moves, transferring left-hander Jordan Montgomery (elbow) to the 60-day DL. The optioned first baseman Luke Voit to Triple-A, and recalled infielder Ronald Torreyes. It remains to be seen whether Kontos will start in Sabathia's place, or if the team calls up Chance Adams, Luis Cessa, or even Justus Sheffield for Sabathia's next start. Torreyes will provide much needed depth to the lineup.

As expected, the New York Yankees reinstated first baseman Greg Bird from the 10-day disabled list today after two months battling an ankle injury and surgery. The club needed to send someone down to make room for him, and that's where the surprise came, as instead of getting rid of Tyler Austin or Neil Walker, the team opted for Ronald Torreyes. The 25-year-old who plays second, third, shortstop and has even played outfield, will report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Torreyes' value as a utility man is obvious, but his ability at the plate was also significant, as he was hitting .339 in 22 games.

Torreyes got the start at second base and hit ninth Saturday, going 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored.

As a result of injuries and a marathon game last night, the New York Yankees gave infielder Ronald Torreyes a start at second base this afternoon against the Baltimore Orioles. The Venezuelan native, who also played last night after Brandon Drury was pulled, batted ninth. He led the team with three hits on the afternoon, coming around to score two runs. The 25-year-old once again displayed his value for the Bronx Bombers, as he provides great stability in the infield while keeping injuries suffered at a minimum. Presently, he's hitting .364 and should continue to see playing time while Brandon Drury remains out.

For Wednesday's matinee game at Yankee Stadium, the New York Yankees will give second baseman Neil Walker the day off. Starting in his place at second base will be Ronald Torreyes, who'll be making his season debut. The 25-year-old was viewed as one of the favorites to land the starting job at second following the trade of Starlin Castro, but Tyler Wade's play and the arrival of Walker altered those plans. Torreyes is entering his third season with the Yankees after hitting a career-best .292 in 108 games last season. On Wednesday, he'll bat ninth as the Yankees go for the series win against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Torreyes has won a spot on the Yankees' Opening Day roster as a utility man, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Torreyes appears unlikely to get many starts in 2018 following the additions of Brandon Drury and Neil Walker.

With the arrival of infielder Brandon Drury to the New York Yankees, the competition for third base has become slightly clearer. For Ronald Torreyes, this also appears to make things clearer, as he seems set to focus on competing for the starting job at second base. According to general manager Brian Cashman, the Venezuelan will now mainly focus on second base, not quite ruling out his chances at third, but making it obvious that second will be his spot to fight for. All along, Torreyes has been seen as a strong candidate to earn the job, despite the team's top shortstop prospect Gleyber Torres appearing poised to take the position. Similar to Kris Bryant's situation with the Cubs some years ago, it behooves the club to keep Torres in the minors early on, as it'd guarantee their control over him for an extended period of time.

After a season that's seen him play a valuable role off the bench, Ronald Torreyes had his biggest hit of the season tonight. Starting at third with Chase Headley on the sidelines with back spasms, the 24-year-old stepped up to the plate with two runners on in the 10th inning. With a single to shallow center field, he won the game for his club. Torreyes, who played shortstop early in the season with Didi Gregorius injured, is hitting .293 with one home runs and 15 RBI. With Headley's status unclear for the weekend, expect Torreyes to remain in the lineup.

With the New York Yankees seeking a series victory against the Oakland Athletics this afternoon at Yankee Stadium, they'll once again field a different starting third baseman. Chase Headley, who has been absolutely abysmal this month, will sit for the second consecutive game with infielder Ronald Torreyes starting at third and batting ninth. The 24-year-old Torreyes, who was the club's primary shortstop in April with Didi Gregorius injured, is hitting .277 with 14 RBI. Headley, meanwhile, started his season in promising fashion by hitting .301 but has hit just .147 in May, as shortstop prospect Gleyber Torres continues to move up the minor league ranks, threatening to break the major league roster.

Ronald Torreyes recorded the lone hit from the Yankees' infield on Saturday. Torreyes delivered a key double to open the sixth inning. The young shortstop offered a lowly .091 average through the first four games but has hit safely eight times in the past seven outings.

Following Joe Girardi’s statement that Didi Gregorious is “really, really beat up” the Dutch shortstop will sit tonight as the Yankees begin a series with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 26-year-old could be out for a couple of days as he recovers, and Ronald Torreyes appears to be the next man in line, getting the start tonight. Gregorious is hitting quite poorly this month, with his averaging dropping to .273, the lowest it’s been since mid-June.
