Right. Poor guy can't buy a single.

I can't imagine there's too many guys all time who have HR's on their first three AB's though.

Yup. You don't see a steal on it happen often but it's basically considered the same as a swing and a miss.

Left the hot bat in AAA everyone was talking about.

I haven't seen one really good AB yet since he's been up. Granted it's a small sample size but just goes to show just because a guy is hitting great down there doesn't automatically mean he will when he's called up.

Nice win

Assuming this is a minor injury

The Yanks catch a break with the schedule. Not only is tomorrow an off day, but the All Star break begins on the 16th- so the Yanks can get him 4 extra days without missing any game time by having him stay on the DL through the ASG.

It doesn't hurt to wait- he can't be activated for 10 days anyway- and if they brought him back on the 15th, he would get in one game, and then sit for 4 days.

It is in the Yankees and Torres' best interest to use the 4 day break to get him right and have him come back healthy.

Yank talking heads after the game agreed with you and said there's no way he's coming back for one game before the All Star break. They also said he may still make the All Star team and attend the game but not play.

arcarsenal : 7/4/2018 6:45 pm : link
Gleyber will be eligible to come back against CLE before the break, but yeah, I think the very obvious move is to just rest him through it which will afford some extra time. Have to be careful with a strain like this because it's one of those things that can get worse if you push it too soon and cost him way more time.

Drury has experience @ 2B even though he hasn't played it here yet. I believe that's where he played the majority of his games in ARZ. It sounds like Walker will get the bulk of the starts there and Walker has looked slightly better or like he's getting closer to getting it together somewhat - and maybe it'll happen with more consistent PT - but I'm just not a big fan of the guy. I'd rather see Drury get some burn there. I guess we'll see how it plays out.
Just bring up Torreyes. The guy was hitting .330 or so  
yatqb : 7/4/2018 6:57 pm : link
when he was sent down. He's a very capable replacement, and certainly brings both more defense and more offense than Walker seems able to produce.

Torreyes is currently inactive - he has some sort of personal shit going on, so he's not an option right now.

Yeah, Boone referred to Toe being unavailable. Also said Wade is in the mix as a possibility, and I can see that.

I think the issue is backup at SS. Gleyber was filling that role. Drury and Walker can both play 1st, 2nd and 3rd, but I don't think either of them is an option at SS. Wade has played there.

Didn't even think about SS. Wade probably has to come up for that, no?

That's what I was thinking, and I just saw this on RAB:

"The Yankees have not yet announced a corresponding roster move, but with Torreyes on the Triple-A temporary inactive list, Wade is the obvious call-up candidate. They need to get a backup shortstop on the roster."
here's an update on Toe:  
Del Shofner : 7/4/2018 8:08 pm : link
Yankees' Ronald Torreyes: Out at Triple-A with personal issue
by RotoWire Staff 3h ago • 1 min read UPDATE 3h ago

Torreyes (personal) is on the temporary inactive list at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and hasn't appeared in any games for the affiliate since June 25, Brendan Kuty of NJ.com reports.
Torreyes has been away from the club for more than a week to be with his wife, who is dealing with a health issue. The utility man struggled to find at-bats behind everyday middle infielders Didi Gregorius and Gleyber Torres earlier this season, but the Yankees may have more of a need for Torreyes' services after Torres exited Wednesday's game against the Braves with right hip tightness. In any case, Torreyes won't be an option for the big club until he's first activated at Triple-A, and it's not known when that might happen.

I agree with both of you, it was cringe worthy and it was funny as hell. Kay and O'Neill were really yucking it up yesterday. I think they have a good time with each other.

Yea O'neill always seems to have a good time. It was a fun moment when they showed Carlos Gomez freaking out on the gatorade bin in the dugout. Its always funny when O'Neill has to talk about his legendary freak outs.
further thoughts from RAB on who replaces Gleyber for now -  
Del Shofner : 7/5/2018 10:31 am : link
As for who replaces Torres on the roster, I have to think it’ll be Tyler Wade. The Yankees need another shortstop on the roster — neither Walker nor Drury (nor Miguel Andujar) can play shortstop, so Gleyber was backing up Didi Gregorius — and Wade is the only available shortstop capable infielder on the 40-man roster. Ronald Torreyes has been on the minor league temporary inactive list since June 26th because he’s home with his wife who has a medical issue, and yesterday Triple-A Scranton manager Bobby Mitchell told DJ Eberle that he has no update on Torreyes. Toe is dealing with something more important than baseball right now. Either the Yankees will call up Wade to replace Gleyber and serve as the backup infielder, or they’re going to call up a non-40-man roster guy like Rey Navarro, L.J. Mazzilli, or Abi Avelino. I’d bet against the latter, even if transferring Jordan Montgomery to the 60-day DL opens up a 40-man spot easily. Wade’s the easy move here and MLB teams tend to go with the path of least resistance in these situations. I’d bet on Wade getting called up. Will he actually play? Who knows. I’d rather see him at second base than Walker (or Drury, for that matter).

Don't write off Wade yet.

I know he has not hit AT ALL in his two prior shots in NY. However, he might be like Higashioka- a guy who once a couple hits fall, might just relax and let his talent show. He has real SB speed- which could be valuable off the bench as well.

What is really intriguing about Wade has been the AAA experiment with him in the OF- he has played 17 games there since being sent down in April- including 9 games in CF. I would not say he is a finished product in the OF- but with Gardner a FA at the end of the season, the Yanks probably need a guy who can be the "next man up" if something happened to Hicks- because we all know Ellsbury can't be relied upon.

Wade, throughout the minors, has been an excellent "get on base" and run guy. If he can become an ok to good defensive OF, that would be a nice backup guy.
rich, any reason that  
section125 : 7/5/2018 11:31 am : link
Wade just does not seem able to hit MLB pitching? It is not like he is a marginal MiLB player. I can see MiLB power not transferring to MLB, but hitting is hitting and he does not have a quirky swing that I see.

He's probably just an ok hitter to begin with. And he's only had 93 ABs spread out over 40+ games. He could still beat out Torreyes for that gig, though.

arniefez : 7/5/2018 12:11 pm : link
he's a unique person that's for sure. I remember calling his WMCA show in the early 70's and listening to him call Nets & NY Raider games. He's had an amazing career.
