BALTIMORE — The Yankees are barely more than a .500 team when Gleyber Torres hasn’t played this season.
Aaron Boone cautioned about making too much of a small sample size, but Wednesday marked just the 28th game this season the Yankees played without Torres available, and they entered just 14-13 in those situations this season.
Torres is on the disabled list with a strained right hip flexor and could be back right after the All-Star break, but the Yankees had already dropped 2 ½ games in the AL East standings in his absence.
Tyler Wade, though, showed glimpses in Wednesday’s 9-0 win over the Orioles of why the Yankees have been so high on him despite his lack of production.
