The New York Yankees announced that shortstop Gleyber Torres left his team's road game against the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday with left lower back stiffness (h/t Brendan Kuty of NJ.com). He will be evaluated further on Friday.
Torres is hitting .260 with three home runs and 23 RBI in 59 games. He went 0-for-2 with a strikeout on Thursday before second baseman Rougned Odor replaced him in the lineup. Tyler Wade, who started at second base, moved over to short.
The 24-year-old has been looking to bounce back after a relatively disappointing 2020 campaign.
