Yankees call up top prospect Gleyber Torres
New York Yankees' Gleyber Torres bats against the Detroit Tigers in a spring baseball exhibition game in Lakeland, Fla.Gleyber Torres cannot help an erratic staff of starting pitchers. Nor can he help shake Giancarlo Stanton from his April funk. But the New York Yankees hope that calling up Torres from Class AAA on Saturday will provide a jolt before they fall much farther behind the sizzling Boston Red Sox in the American League East.
Torres, the Yankees’ much-ballyhooed top prospect, will be in uniform — and quite likely in the lineup at second or third base — on Sunday at Yankee Stadium against the Toronto Blue Jays.
