GLEYBER TORRES NEWS

Approaching rehab assignment Torres (thumb) hopes to begin a rehab assignment next week, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Impact Torres took dry swings and fielded grounders last week, and he'll report to Double-A Somerset to work out throughout this week. As long as the 24-year-old continues to trend in the right direction, the Yankees are optimistic that he'll return to game action with the minor-league club next week. Torres has been on the injured list since Aug. 9 and will likely remain away from the major-league club until early September.

Puts in on-field workout Torres (thumb) was spotted Tuesday taking part in an on-field workout prior to the Yankees' doubleheader with the Red Sox, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact According to Kuty, Torres was sporting a protective guard over his sprained left thumb, but he didn't seem too inhibited during his workout. Manager Aaron Boone said just over a week ago that he expected Torres' injury would keep him on the shelf for 10-to-20 days, so the 24-year-old can't be considered a lock to make it back from the injured list when first eligible this weekend.

May miss more than minimum Torres' sprained left thumb is expected to sideline him for 10 to 20 days, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact Torres suffered the injury while sliding into second base Sunday. It came at an unfortunate time for the young shortstop, as he was just starting to heat up at the plate, recording four multi-hit performances over his last six games. He'll now likely be out until sometime in late August, though the Yankees should be able to provide a clearer timeline after he visits with specialists in the next few days.

Lands on injured list Torres was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday with a sprained left thumb.

Impact Manager Aaron Boone expressed concern after Torres suffered the injury while sliding into second base during Sunday's loss to the Mariners, and the shortstop will end up requiring a stint on the injured list. It's not known how long the 24-year-old is expected to be sidelined, though he won't be eligible to be activated until Aug. 19. It's a tough blow for the Yankees, who are already without Gary Sanchez (COVID-19), Anthony Rizzo (COVID-19), Gio Urshela (hamstring) and numerous pitchers. Andrew Velazquez had his contract selected from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to bolster New York's depth at shortstop in the meantime.
