Reports: Yankees calling up highly touted prospect Gleyber Torres

NEW YORK -- Gleyber Torres, one of baseball's highest touted young prospects, is being called up by the New York Yankees, according to multiple reports.

The team has not yet made an announcement.

Torres, 21, ranks fifth in Keith Law's list of top 100 baseball prospects.

Because of the timing of his call-up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre -- three days after a key deadline passed regarding Torres' major league service time for the season -- the organization will be able to keep the infielder under contractual control for another full season.

Torres now won't be eligible for free agency until 2024.
