Since the emergence of Torres and fellow rookie Miguel Andujar both Brandon Drury and Tyler Wade have had a very difficult time trying to earn consistent playing time on the Yankees 25-man roster. They’re both talented enough to be on a big league roster but because of the team’s never-ending roster crunch, they’ve been victims of the Scranton shuttle all season long.
When Drury was called back up by the Yankees this past Friday it marked the first time since early April where he and Wade were both on the big league roster. However, with Torres set to return to the starting lineup on Wednesday that’s likely to change, though it remains to be seen who will be sent down as the corresponding move.
