NEW YORK -- The Yankees will get a needed rest Thursday before a three-city, 11-game road trip, starting in Toronto on Friday, takes them into the All-Star break.
But manager Aaron Boone will have the health of his star rookie second baseman on his mind.
The good: The Yankees beat the Braves, 6-2, behind power and pitching at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday.
The bad: Gleyber Torres, frontrunner for American League Rookie of the Year, left the game before the fifth inning with right hip flexor tightness. Torres was scheduled for an MRI, which the Yankees called precautionary.
