Gleyber Torres Bats Sixth In Season Opener

New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres had a solid day at the dish in Thursday's Opening Day contest, going 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk, two runs, two RBI, and a stolen base. But after much speculation that he would hit at the top of the order, Yankees manager Aaron Boone batted him in the sixth spot of the lineup. Torres has the skillset to bat near the top, as he slashed .257/.310/.451 with 24 homers, 73 runs, 76 RBI, and 10 stolen bases over 140 games in 2022. The 26-year-old will likely move around in the lineup, and he has the talent to produce another 20-10 season, but if he's consistently in the bottom half, that will hurt his counting stats for 2023.

AL Notes: Alvarez, Torres, Flexen

Astros GM Dana Brown discussed star slugger Yordan Alvarez’s health during an appearance on an ESPN game broadcast today, telling ESPN broadcasters that “He should definitely be back for Opening Day.

Gleyber Torres Avoids Arbitration

The New York Yankees and second baseman Gleyber Torres avoided arbitration after agreeing to a one-year, $9.995 million deal. The two parties were initially at odds, with Torres filing at $10.2 million and the Yankees offering $9.7. The second baseman has been involved in extensive discussions to be traded at the deadline with Pablo Lopez as the centerpiece, but the Yanks continue to endorse Torres as their second baseman. The 26-year-old cranked 24 HRs while slashing .257/.310/.451 with a .761 OPS. He also amassed 114 OPS+ with a 22.6% strikeout rate. If Torres can show more consistency on the field and at the plate, he should find himself in the Yankees lineup every day despite recent reports that he could find himself on the bench more in 2023.

Gleyber Torres Could Find Himself On The Bench More

Last season, when New York Yankees infielders DJ LeMahieu and Gleyber Torres were both healthy on Opening Day, LeMahieu started at second base and Torres was on the bench. The next game, LeMahieu started at third base, which forced Josh Donaldson to the bench and Torres to second. LeMahieu is expected to resume seeing everyday at-bats in a utility role in 2023 if he's healthy, playing mostly second base while jumping in at third and first base when necessary. At shortstop, Isiah Kiner-Falefa is expected to compete for the starting job with prospects Oswald Peraza and Anthony Volpe. So barring injuries at either short or second base, Torres doesn't project as an everyday player for the Yankees, which is obviously bad news for his fantasy value. The 26-year-old hit .257/.310/.451 with a .761 OPS, 24 home runs, 76 RBI, 73 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 140 games for the Yanks last year.
