Yankees: Why did Aaron Boone rest the red hot Gleyber Torres?

I mean, just ask Baltimore Orioles play-by-play announcer Gary Thorne. Thursday, Torres sat on the Yankees bench after absolutely mashing the Orioles this series, launching two long balls the previous night and four during the four-game series.

In fact, Torres has had the O’s number all season long. The young infielder has an astounding slash line posting a .486 BA, 10 HR and 13 RBIs against the Birds. Overall, Gleyber has been one of the Yanks hottest bats, especially of late, driving his season batting average up to .302 coupled with 12 long balls and plating 26 runs.
