ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Yankees are ready to welcome Gleyber Torres back from the disabled list Wednesday, when they face Rays right-hander Nathan Eovaldi.
Without disparaging replacements Neil Walker, Tyler Wade and Brandon Drury, Aaron Boone is looking forward to having the chance to write the All-Star second baseman’s name on a lineup card.
“We have missed him — obviously he is a guy who has burst onto the scene not only in New York but around the country,” Boone said before Torres went 2-for-4 with a double for Single-A Tampa on Monday in a minor league game 20 minutes from Tropicana Field, where the Yankees lost to the Rays, 7-6.
