Yankees to manage 2B Torres after Friday fall

Gleyber Torres' MRI on his right hamstring Saturday came back negative, but the New York Yankees still plan to be cautious with the second baseman as the regular season winds down.

Torres slipped after backhanding a grounder Friday night, prompting an audible gasp from the crowd at Yankee Stadium. He was pulled later and said he felt weakness in his lower legs. He was not in the lineup Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays, although manager Aaron Boone said Torres was feeling good.

Prior to the Yankees' announcement, Boone said the American League East champions will be careful with Torres over the final week of the regular season.
