The New York Yankees might be getting starting shortstop Didi Gregorius back from Tommy John surgery just in time. Gleyber Torres has been fantastic filling in for Didi and Troy Tulowitzki, but he has committed two errors in two consecutive series at the position.
Gaining back a consistent defensive player and bat in the lineup should help tremendously as they fight off the injury bug and extended fatigue. Gregorius is now with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders and will remain with the Yankees minor-league team for six days.
On Wednesday, the Yankees worked Didi for seven innings in the infield, enjoying what seemed to be a full bid of health as he progresses quickly through his rehab program.
