Struggling in field Torres committed two throwing errors and skipped a ball in the dirt during Monday's victory over Boston. He has six errors on the season, most among MLB shortstops.
Impact Torres hasn't shown much with the bat this year -- he's slashing .246/.358/.319 and has hit only one home run -- so his defensive lapses stand out more than when he's making up for them with production at the plate. For now, manager Aaron Boone appears unconcerned with Torres' defense, stating, "I think he's doing well overall. He's had a couple of hiccups game-wise that have dinged him statistically," per the Associated Press. Torres committed 20 errors between second base and shortstop last season, when he also slugged 38 homers and drove in 90 runs.

Perfect at plate Friday Torres went 4-for-4 with a double, two RBI and two runs in Friday's win against the Red Sox.
Impact Torres has been going through a bit of a slump to begin the season, but he's now reached base in each of the past six contests. He had just his third extra-base hit Friday, but he contributed to the Yankees' offensive onslaught in the 10-3 win over Boston. The 23-year-old now has a .619 OPS with one home run, five RBI and 13 strikeouts this season.

Breaks hitless spell Torres went a combined 2-for-6 with a run and a walk in Saturday's doubleheader versus Tampa Bay.
Impact Torres entered Game 1 of the twin bill in an 0-for-24 skid, but he was able to notch a hit in each of the two contests Saturday. After a strong 2019 campaign, the 23-year-old is slashing .146/.212/.208 with only one home run in 52 plate appearances this season.

Day off Monday Torres is not in the lineup Monday against the Phillies.
Impact Torres left Thursday's game against Baltimore after getting hit by a pitch in the elbow but started all three games in the weekend series against Boston, and there hasn't been any indication that this is anything other than a routine day off for the young infielder. He may need a day to sort things out after starting the season hitting .179/.258/.286 through his first eight games. Tyler Wade will start at shortstop in his absence.

Has elbow contusion Torres has been diagnosed with a right elbow contusion after being hit by a pitch in the first inning of Thursday's game against the Orioles.
Impact Torres stayed in the game after being checked on by trainers, but was later replaced by Tyler Wade in the fourth inning. With X-rays on Torres's elbow coming back negative, the shortstop seems unlikely to miss an extended period of time, although it's not yet clear if he'll be able to play in Friday's series opener against the Red Sox.
