When New York Yankees star second baseman Gleyber Torres hit the deck on a throw to first base, the entire fanbase gasped simultaneously. Luckily, Torres has escaped any significant injury and has been left out of the lineup as a precaution. Missing a second straight game, manager Aaron Boone gave Torres another nights rest to aid his fatigued right hamstring.
The Yankees need to be extremely careful with their star infielder and ensure he is prepared to produce during the postseason. After what seemed to be a severe injury, Torres told Boone that his legs felt weak.
