Through the thick and thin of the early season, New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres has struggled in the batter’s box.
Across 12 games (45 plate appearances), he has totaled five hits, one home run and two RBIs which equates to a .119 batting average, a .368 OPS and a six OPS+. Torres is hitless in his last 23 at-bats.
Despite the dragging start, Yankees manager Aaron Boone isn’t “really worried” about his shortstop (quotes per Zach Braziller of the New York Post).
“I’m not really worried about Gleyber too much,” Boone said over Zoom before the Yankees opened a four-game series against the Rays in Tampa with a 1-0 setback.
