Gleyber Torres

Aaron Boone decided to move Torres back up to the lead-off spot after he hit a home run on Tuesday and Torres responded with another homer to start this game. The Yankees desperately need help on offense to get out of their rut and a hot streak from Torres would be a big help.

Gleyber Torres slammed a home run to put the New York Yankees on the board first vs. the New York Mets.

The Yankees are trying anything at this point. After having Ben Rice lead off for a while, the Yankees had Jahmai Jones in the leadoff spot on Tuesday against a left-handed pitcher and now will give Torres a shot. The 27-year-old has been mildly better in July but is still hitting just .255 in 14 games in the month with one home run and no steals. At this point, the Yankees are hoping for anybody aside from Aaron Judge and Juan Soto to step up and get some hits.

Torres will start at second base and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game versus the Mets.

Quintana was uncharacteristically wild in this one, piling up six strikeouts while also handing out a staggering five free passes, his highest single-start total since issuing a career-high six walks back on June 22, 2016. Fortunately, the walks didn't come back to haunt him as a second-inning solo shot by Gleyber Torres represented the lone tally against him. The 35-year-old veteran southpaw will bring an underwhelming 4.02 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 85/39 K/BB ratio across 107 1/3 innings (20 starts) into a home outing on Sunday against the division-rival Braves.
