Gleyber Torres Headed For MRI

By George Miller | September 21, 2019 at 10:14am CDT

11:47am: Per Hoch, the MRI on Torres’s right hamstring came back negative, revealing some good news for the Yankees. Assuming that he continues to feel better in the coming days, Torres shouldn’t be required to miss an extended period of time.

10:14am: Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres, who exited Friday’s game against the Blue Jays with an injury to his right leg after he slipped and fell on the outfield grass, will have an MRI done today on his right hamstring, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. The 22-year-old Torres told skipper Aaron Boone that he felt good this morning, but the team wants to be sure that there wasn’t any serious damage incurred on the fall.

While the Yankees season has been defined by an improbable run of injured stars, Torres has been one of the few regulars that has managed to stay on his feet all year, leading the team with 140 games played. That alone makes it doubly frustrating that the budding star’s health might be compromised so late in the season. However, with Torres citing improvement today and the results of the MRI yet to come, there may well be no reason to panic.

After a fantastic rookie season in 2018, Torres has followed that up with an even better 2019, in which he has slugged 38 home runs. He’s seen his OPS jump to .889 and has even managed to hold his own at shortstop, posting respectable advanced defensive stats in more than 650 innings there. Of course, those metrics are imperfect and ought to be taken with a grain of salt, but it’s nonetheless a surprising development for a player who was forced off of shortstop and only returned as a result of injury.

With the postseason right around the corner and home-field advantage still at stake, another injury scare is surely the last thing the Yankees need in late September. However, one might at least point to the return of Giancarlo Stanton and Luis Severino, along with the impending arrivals of Edwin Encarnacion and Gary Sanchez, as silver linings in the situation.

        It was in reference to him telling Boone that he was feeling fine this morning. Probably still should give him a few days off with the test results showing negative. The season is a long grind.

      Using today’s ball, I wouldn’t be surprised if he also was actually able to throw it too. They could also dig up Horace Clarke to cover the spot.

          Bob, I also can’t get out of my head, Martin stating “Miller on his horse” referencing Rick Miller going after a long fly ball.

          My own personal Ned-ism, said during the post-game of the final (clinching) game in 1967: “A cure for cancer has been found, there is peace in the world, every man loves his brother….and the Boston Red Sox are the American League champions….”

          Sadly, my first season of remembering live play is 68. my memories of 67 is through video. I have a great Yaz bio that WSBK sold through Stop & Shop for $10 after he was elected to the HOF. Proceeds went to the Jimmy Fund. Phenomenal Tax video. I actually love the highlights from 75 where Yaz played left because Rice was injured and it was like he never stopped playing the monster.

          What made ’67 special was that unlike a team like, say the Mets in ’69 (who everybody knew was coming; tho they did get there quicker than anybody thought), the ’67 Sox had a collection of vagabonds, waiver wire guys, and has- beens and never- would-bes. Games won by guys like Dalton Jones, Jerry Adair and John Wyatt. It was truly magical.

          Oh ya, and that Yaz guy, who almost metaphysically willed them to victory. They had their share of DECENT players (Smith, Andrews, Hawk, Lonborg, Scott, Foy, etc.). But it was a team that you thought MIGHT play .500, if they got lucky.

          AND they had to work around an owner who never spoke to African American players. AND they kind of “backed in”. But what the heck, it was magic.

    .We will miss his bat but not his defense LeMahieu is a better defender. Gleyber has a ways to go with the glove.

    What more do Yankee fans want than another injury excuse ready to use when the team loses in October? Seriously, the year they’ve had is as good as Boston’s last year but they have to win it all in order to cherish it. The game is so unbalanced today that records are hard to judge. I don’t remember back to back years with so many 100 win teams.

      The idea of the wild card was to keep more teams in it for longer. I think it helped make baseball more interesting for the 4 or 5 teams in each league that have a shot at the wild card. Baseball is root canal at the top and bottom, the 100 wins or the 100 losses, it doesn’t matter which. I would rather watch the wild card teams play in September except that it’s all for one game only to get slaughtered in the next round.

    Glad to hear for Torres sake and to a lesser extent the Yanks as well. On a selfish note, nothin like loosin the sickening Felipe Vasquez, Gleyber Torres, Yelich, and Giolito right in time for my Championship round of fantasy h2h.

    Gardner and boone arguing about the strike zone. What a bunch of children. Yes. The umpires are allowed to call strikes on your hitters.

      Speaking of whining children, Melch you are epitomizing one who is out of control with your rants.

      You should just concentrate on your favorite team and watch it’s manager, a former pitching coach continue to misuse the bullpen on their way to a season that breaks hearts of their fans.

      You should find your buddy Gee Whiz, (the whiner who picked on Gardy and Cash until he disappeared about a month ago) so that you can ruminate in Flushing for the next week.
