NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Star second baseman Gleyber Torres prompted an audible gasp from the Yankee Stadium crowd when his right leg buckled while fielding a grounder and made an early exit Friday night as New York lost to the Toronto Blue Jays 4-3.

Torres said his lower legs felt weakness. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he expects him to be OK but pulled him as a precaution. Torres leads the AL East champions with 38 home runs and is hitting .284 with 90 RBIs.

Gleyber Torres #25 of the New York Yankees lays on the ground during the fourth inning of their game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium on September 20, 2019.
