New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres is facing criticism after failing to run out a late-inning ground ball in a crucial situation, which led manager Aaron Boone to exclude him from the lineup on Wednesday. The 27-year-old has been struggling both defensively and offensively, hitting only .215/.294/.333 with seven home runs in 80 games this season. This marks a significant decline from his career OPS+ of 114.
Torres attempted to explain his failure by citing groin discomfort, but Boone said that the issue was not severe. On Tuesday, Boone was vague when asked if Torres would be benched, but by Wednesday, he clarified that Torres needed a break to reset both mentally and physically. Tuesday night’s incident was a factor in this decision, with Boone emphasizing the need for Torres to improve in the lineup.
The Yankees are currently holding a 52-29 record and leading the Orioles by two games in the AL East. However, they have struggled recently, losing five of their last six games and seven of their last nine. Injuries have also taken their toll on key players like Anthony Rizzo and Giancarlo Stanton. On the other hand, the Mets have had an impressive June with a 14-6 record.
