NEW YORK (WFAN) — Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman addressed some major injuries and struggling players with Mike Francesa Tuesday afternoon.
Cashman began by addressing an injury suffered by top prospect Gleyber Torres, who is out for the season and will not make his big league debut this year.
The 20-year-old shortstop has been diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow and will undergo Tommy John surgery, ending his season.
Cashman said it will take four to six months for Torres to recover, but it is his non-throwing arm that was affected.
