ARLINGTON, Texas -- New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres was back in the starting lineup Wednesday night after being reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list.
Torres, who is fully vaccinated, missed six games after testing positive last week. He was cleared to return by Major League Baseball's joint committee. Asymptomatic vaccinated people can be cleared if they test negative twice.
Torres was batting fifth in the lineup for the third game of a four-game series at Texas.
"It was good to see him walk into the brunch today," manager Aaron Boone said.
