New York Yankees rookie Gleyber Torres continued his sensational first month in the majors on Monday in Arlington against the Rangers. The 21-year-old drilled a mammoth two-run home run in the third inning, increasing his club's early lead to three runs. In the sixth, he stepped up after the Rangers had briefly tied the game. With the Yankees having regained their lead, Torres connected on his second home run of the game, putting the Bronx Bombers up 6-4. It was the first multi-homer game of his career, bringing his season totals to .321 with six home runs and 18 RBI thus far.

On Friday, Gleyber Torres' lack of playing time during the week was quite evident, as he committed two defensive gaffes that cost the New York Yankees in defeat. Saturday, however, saw the rookie bounce back in a major way. The 21-year-old stepped to the plate in the fourth inning after New York's two-run lead had been wiped away by the Kansas City Royals. With two runners on, Torres delivered a huge, three-run home run to left. While early on in the game, it felt like a decisive blow, as the Yankees went on to score three more unanswered runs. The Venezuelan infielder is now hitting .325 with four home runs and 15 RBI since his promotion nearly a month ago.

Torres went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Saturday against the Royals.

Perhaps rusty from a lack of games all week due to inclement weather and off days, New York Yankees rookie Gleyber Torres was not at his best on defense in Friday's defeat to the Royals. The 21-year-old dropped a fly ball with runners on the corners in the first inning, allowing the first run to score. Two innings later, with the bases loaded, he booted a ground ball that resulted in yet another run scored, one of two unearned runs for starting pitcher CC Sabathia. While Torres did end up picking up a hit, his defense made it obvious that the lack of games this week affected him.

Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres had only one hit in Sunday's game against the Indians, but it left the yard for a three-run walk-off home run for New York. The home run was his second of the season, as he is now hitting .327 with a .857 OPS over 15 games. Torres is now owned in a majority of leagues on ESPN (63 percent) and Yahoo! (65 percent), but if he is available in your league do not hesitate to add him now for his potential to hit double-digit home runs and steal double-digit bases with a .300 average.

Torres went 1-for-4 with a walkoff three-run home run to send the Yankees to a 7-4 victory over Cleveland on Sunday.

New York Yankees rookie Gleyber Torres might have earned his stripes on Thursday afternoon in Houston against the Astros. The 21-year-old came up huge late as his club was staring down a heartbreaking defeat. His first major action came in the second inning, as he hit a sacrifice fly that increased the Yankees lead to 2-0. In the ninth, however, his club was trailing 5-3 after a collapse in the late innings. With the bases loaded, Torres delivered a clutch single that drove in two runs to tie the game. New York would take the lead and eventually win the game 6-5 to take three of four against the defending champions.

After failing to record a hit in his much-anticipated debut Sunday afternoon, top New York Yankees prospect Gleyber Torres recorded his first career hit on Monday. Tuesday night in the Bronx, however, the 21-year-old took a step further, recording his first RBI in New York's 8-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Torres once again started at second base and batted ninth, recording two hits on the night. The rookie was all smiles, alongside many of his teammates, as the club smacked four home runs for a second consecutive game. They stand just four games out of first place in the AL East.

Torres went 0-for-4 with a strikeout during Sunday's 5-1 victory over the Blue Jays.

New York Yankees top prospect Gleyber Torres is making his MLB debut on Sunday, playing second and batting eighth against Jaime Garcia and the Blue Jays. Torres has had an illustrious minor league career, hitting .285 with 24 home run, 208 RBI and 61 stolen bases over five seasons. The Yankees plan to utilize Torres as their everyday second baseman, meaning he'll have every opportunity to prove why he was considered one of the best prospects in the league. If Torres is somehow available in your league he needs to be owned, and while he may need some time to adjust to major league pitching, he'll likely be a solid play on most days he starts.

The New York Yankees are promoting top prospect Gleyber Torres, who is expected to join the team on Sunday. Torres is the Yankees' No. 1 overall prospect and the No. 5 prospect in all of baseball, according to MLB Pipeline. Torres is hitting .370 with one homer, six runs, and 11 RBI in 13 games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barres this season. Torres is certainly owned in all dynasty leagues but it would be a wise idea to check on his status in standard redraft formats as he has the potential to be an impact bat for your fantasy squad this season. There is no word yet on which day Torres will make his MLB debut, but it could be as soon as Sunday.

After exiting Monday night's game with lower back stiffness and subsequently sitting out Tuesday's game, New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres will return to the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders starting lineup Wednesday. The top Yankees prospect will start at third base and bat second  in the afternoon series finale against the Atlanta Braves affiliated Gwinnett Stripers. Torres has been subject to much speculation about an imminent promotion to the major leagues, as he continues to excel in the minors while the Yankees struggle through the first 16 games of the season. Now that he's been deemed healthy enough to start again, he may indeed land a promotion in the coming days. Torres should be stashed in all leagues.

Top New York Yankees prospect Gleyber Torres remains day-to-day with lower back stiffness, missing the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders game Tuesday. The 21-year-old infielder is reportedly on the cusp of a major league promotion as he excels in the minors while the Yankees struggle early on this season. Through 11 games this year, Torres is hitting .366 with a home run and 10 RBI. The club could definitely use him either at third base or second base, but with Torres needing to play just one more game in the minors for another year of club control over him, it makes sense to not promote him immediately. He should return to action Wednesday night.

Top New York Yankees prospect Gleyber Torres (undisclosed) has been playing tremendous baseball at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and talk quickly emerged of an imminent promotion to the majors. Earlier Monday, he was pulled in the fifth inning of the RailRiders game, feeding rumors of that supposed call-up. The truth, however, is that Torres was simply feeling slight stiffness and was removed for precautionary reasons. The 21-year-old is hitting .385 with 10 RBI thus far in the Triple-A season. He's been focusing on third and second base with a spot opening up at third as Brandon Drury continues to deal with migraines and Miguel Andujar fails to stand out.

New York Yankees infield prospect Gleyber Torres continues to tear the cover off of the ball for the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. Torres is one of the best prospects in the league and has ten RBI to go along with a .389 batting average. Torres is just 21-years-old, but has one of the best eyes in the minor leagues and is a hitting machine. He should be up and ready to help the Yankees as soon as they want him, likely operating the second base position. He should already be owned in dynasty leagues and is a very strong stash in redraft leagues.

Torres is hitting .348 with a home run, a steal and a 6:0 K:BB in five games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Top New York Yankees prospect Gleyber Torres remains red-hot for the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders as he shifts his focus to positions which could help the big league club. The 21-year-old will be working primarily at third and second base now, two positions where the Yankees could use help. Neil Walker, who was signed to be the club's second baseman, has also been seeing time at first following Greg Bird's injury. Brandon Drury, meanwhile, who was acquired to play third, is currently on the disabled list with migraines. In five games thus far this season, Torres is hitting .348 with four RBI, a triple and a home run.

In a move that seemed inevitable, the New York Yankees officially reassigned top prospect Gleyber Torres to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The 21-year-old appeared unlikely to break the major league roster with an extra year of control over him in play should he remain in the minors through mid-April. Additionally, acquisitions of Brandon Drury and most recently Neil Walker, virtually sealed his fate. Torres didn't exactly help his cause with his play, as he hit just .160 this spring training. While the Venezuelan's major league status is non-existent in the immediate future, this will only help him, as he's given more time to grow and get back into shape following Tommy John surgery last year.

In Friday's spring training debut, the New York Yankees slotted prized prospect Gleyber Torres into the starting second base spot. The 20-year-old batted sixth and went hitless in two appearances. While getting the start in the first preseason game of the year, Torres shouldn't take too much confidence in that. Manager Aaron Boone stated that the battle for second base is "wide open" with competitors, including Ronald Torreyes, Jace Peterson and Tyler Wade. Two of those competitors, Peterson and Wade, saw action in Friday's game. Peterson, who relieved Torres, also went hitless in two plate appearances. Wade, meanwhile, picked up two hits and scored a run at shortstop, replacing Didi Gregorius.

Gleyber Torres, the top prospect in the New York Yankees farm system and the No. 5 prospect in all of baseball, will do battle for the starting position at second base this spring. This news came from general manager Brian Cashman in light of the club's acquisition of infielder Brandon Drury from the Arizona Diamondbacks. While Torres, 21, has seen action at third base, shortstop and second base, he now has a clear path to the Opening Day roster. Regardless, he may be kept from the roster in a move similar to what the Cubs did with third baseman Kris Bryant three seasons ago. Keeping Torres in the minors to begin the season would grant the Yankees a full year more of control over him. This shouldn't be considered a serious detriment, however, as the period of time in the minors would need to be just 16 days.

New York Yankees shortstop prospect Gleyber Torres will likely move all over the infield after the team acquired Brandon Drury. Torres took ground balls at third base Tuesday, one of the two positions that Drury can play (second base is the other). According to Pete Caldera of the Bergen Record, Drury started 109 games at second base in 2017 and may be the option at second for the Yankees. Drury has only played 41 games at third in the majors since 2015 and while he was a third baseman in the minor leagues for the Diamondbacks, the Yankees may prefer that he stay at second. Torres had Tommy John surgery to end his 2017 season but had an .863 OPS with Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He could gain second and third base eligibility this season to go along with his shortstop eligibility.

New York Yankees shortstop prospect Gleyber Torres (elbow) has been in camp with the team and is 100 percent healthy after having Tommy John surgery last year on his non-throwing elbow. Manager Aaron Boone said Torres has no restrictions in camp. Torres hit .287/.383/.480 in 55 games in the minors last year and has a chance to open the season as the Bombers' starting second baseman. He'll also see repetitions at shortstop and third base this spring. Torres is one of the top prospects in all of baseball. He won't necessarily be a must-draft player in shallow mixed leagues, but he should be relevant in deep mixed and AL-only leagues, and he should already be stashed in dynasty/keeper formats.

Manager Aaron Boone said Torres (elbow) is expected to be a "full go" when spring games begin, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

New York Yankees shortstop prospect Gleyber Torres (elbow) is fully healthy leading into spring training, according to Brian Cashman. In a New York Daily News article about infield positional battles, "(Torres) wanted to play winter ball. We said ‘No.' He was healthy enough to do so," said general manager Brian Cashman. "He's healthy right now. Could he blow a tire? Yeah, but that's true of anybody else. Could he pull a groin, or hammy or calf? Yeah, but that's going to be true of everyone in competition." Torres, 21, suffered a season-ending left (non-throwing) elbow injury last year sliding into home and he underwent Tommy John surgery. He had an .863 OPS with Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before going down with injury and will look to fight off Ronald Torreyes and Danny Espinosa for the second base job in the Bronx.

New York Yankees infielder Yankees prospect infielder Gleyber Torres (elbow) said Monday that he feels "100 percent." Torres required season-ending Tommy John surgery on his left (non-throwing) elbow last June, but he has been working out at the Yankees' spring training complex for almost a month. He should be ready to go at the start of the season, though the Yankees could keep him in the minors for the first few weeks of the season. As of now, Ronald Torreyes and Tyler Wade will likely handle second base duties to begin the year.

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Monday that while service-time considerations won't be a factor in Torres (elbow) potentially breaking spring camp with the big club, it's "more likely" the 21-year-old will require additional time in the minors, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said it is "more likely" that shortstop prospect Gleyber Torres will need extra time in the minors in 2018, and service time will not be in play when considering him for the opening day roster. There is a chance that Torres makes the opening day roster as the starting second baseman, but he'll really need to impress in spring training for that to happen. Between Double-A and Triple-A last year, Torres hit .287 with seven home runs, 34 RBI, seven steals and 31 runs scored in 55 games. He should be stashed in keeper/dynasty leagues and could become an option in deep mixed and AL-only leagues if he's in the bigs in 2018.
