ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Gleyber Torres returned to the Yankees’ lineup on Wednesday, when he was activated from the 10-day DL.
“I played a couple of [minor league] games and didn’t feel anything and I am ready to play,’’ said Torres, who played in three minor league rehab games for Single-A Tampa.
He went 0-for-3, walked, scored a run and struck out twice in Wednesday’s 3-2 loss to the Rays.
Torres hadn’t played in a big-league game since July 4, when he left a game against the Braves with a strained right hip. To make room for the right-handed-hitting All-Star second baseman, the Yankees optioned utility infielder Tyler Wade to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
