In a transfer that arose from a sequence of things — half efficiency, half disciplinary, half an acknowledgment that persevering with to play day-after-day has not labored — the Yankees have quickly benched Gleyber Torres.
Torres, whose spiral of a season intensified in an all-around poor sport Tuesday, was out of the beginning lineup Wednesday for the Subway Collection finale with the Mets at Citi Subject.
He doubtless will miss at the least Thursday’s sequence opener in Toronto, as properly, Aaron Boone saying he would give his on a regular basis second baseman “a few days right here simply to reset.”
“Felt like he wants it,” the Yankees supervisor stated earlier than Torres was set to overlook his second sport of the season. “I simply suppose he’s too necessary, and a man that I’m assured we’ll get going.”
Torres has not gotten going by means of his first 80 video games, coming into Wednesday’s sport with a .215 batting common that was the 14th-worst amongst all MLB qualifiers.
He started the season with a profession .789 OPS, which has fallen to .628.
His glove has been about as poor as his bat, his 12 errors probably the most by any second baseman this season and a missed grounder costing the Yankees a run Tuesday.
His hustle, too, upset Tuesday when he didn’t run out a softly hit floor ball within the eighth inning which may have been an in depth play if he had run laborious.
After the sport, Torres blamed a groin that had compelled him from a sport final week and which grew tight, he stated. Boone referred to as Torres into his workplace after the loss and talked with the 27-year-old.
In keeping with Boone, Torres’ groin problem just isn’t “too important.”
Boone slept on it, referred to as Torres on Wednesday morning and alerted him of the plan to take a break. The shortage of hustle performed into the choice.
“That’s one of many issues that obtained my consideration, definitely,” stated Boone, who painted it as extra of a respite than a punishment.
Boone tried the identical technique with Anthony Rizzo about two weeks in the past, eradicating the slumping first baseman from the lineup for a pair of video games in hopes that Rizzo may flip off his mind and be more energizing on the opposite aspect of the benching.
Quickly upon returning, Rizzo sustained a fractured forearm.
With Torres, there may be cause to wonder if his thoughts has been getting in the best way of his sport.
He has spent his first seven main league seasons with the Yankees and has been open in stating he want to stay in The Bronx.
Torres is about to hit free company this offseason, and the Yankees have already got made it clear that retaining Juan Soto can be their high precedence.
This was not the contract yr that Torres may need envisioned.
“Typically your mind must get out of the best way a bit bit,” Boone stated of Torres, who was out of the lineup on an evening the Mets tossed a lefty (Sean Manaea), towards whom the righty hitter usually would line up properly.
Oswaldo Cabrera performed second base and batted ninth, with DJ LeMahieu getting the beginning at third base.
Boone stated Torres revered the choice. Torres himself on Tuesday stated his first half has “been unhealthy,” and “the whole lot” has been disappointing in his sport to date.
The actual timing of this extended stoop, too, is probably going disappointing. The Yankees have misplaced Rizzo and Giancarlo Stanton, which has positioned a better weight on the shoulders of gamers similar to Torres.
Earlier than the benching, Torres was simply 2-for-29 in his previous 9 video games.
“The factor is, he’s been working actually laborious,” Boone stated. “Typically a bit psychological blow can go a good distance.”
