TORONTO-- Yankees manager Aaron Boone had a little fun Sunday morning with Gleyber Torres when summoning the rookie second baseman to his office to pass along great news.
"I called him in and was like, 'Have you done any work today? What's going on with your leg?" Boone said after the Yankees' 2-1, 10-inning win over the Toronto Blue Jays. "You're probably going to have to get that right so when you go to D.C. next week you can tip your cap properly.'"
And that's how Torres, who is on the disabled list with a right hip strain, found out that he was selected to represent the American League and the Yankees at the 2017 All-Star Game, which will be played on July 17 at Nationals Park in Washington, D.
