Yankees' Aaron Boone: 'It's a Joke' Gleyber Torres Didn't Make AL All-Star Team

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres wasn't named to the All-Star roster, even as an injury replacement, and his manager isn't happy about it.

"It's a joke that he's not on that team," Aaron Boone said Wednesday, per Coley Harvey of ESPN. "Gleyber Torres not an All-Star? You can kick rocks on that one. That's ridiculous."

The second-year player entered Wednesday with a .295/.363/.544 slash line with 19 home runs in 77 games.

The Yankees have the second-best record in baseball but only have three players headed to the All-Star Game in Cleveland: Gary Sanchez, DJ LeMahieu and Aroldis Chapman.
