Wherever Gleyber Torres is, the New York Yankees would appreciate his return to the lineup. After all, he’d be a grand improvement over the complete shell of a player at second base now.
Excuse me, I’m sorry. I should specify. The Yankees have been playing the 21-year-old Torres at second base. It’s just that based on his performance at the plate, one wouldn’t even know it. Gone is the hitter who proved a tough out from late April through early July. Gone are the at-bats that could have resulted in anything from a laced single to right to a towering home run.
