Via MLB.com:</p><p>“It’s hard when you lose,”” said Yankees infielder Torres. “We try to compete every time, but we fail. It’s really frustrating for us because we know we’ve got a really good team, and we don’t do the right things right now. We have to keep going and try to figure out the right way to start winning games.”</p><p>“We know we haven’t played to anywhere near our potential the entire year,” said Volpe. “The fact that we still trust and believe in each other, and know that we have another gear that we can get to, every day we’re just working to try and do that.”</p><p>While Aaron Judge’s lengthy injury certainly <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-aaron-judge-less-new-york-makes-ugly-history-vs-orioles-not-seen-in-120-years" rel="noopener">hurt the Yankees</a>, there’s no excuse for this ball club to have one of the worst offenses in baseball. They’re hitting a mere .231 as a lineup which ranks 29th in the Majors while scoring only 4.2 runs per game. That ranks 23rd. Outside of Judge, essentially no one is consistent at the plate. Torres, who is hitting .267, is the only other one have a respectable campaign.</p><p>With the regular season quickly coming to a close, it simply comes down to finding a rhythm and finishing out strong. But by the looks of it, there are no signs of the offense turning things around.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-new-yorks-latest-failure-brings-up-bitter-memory-from-28-years-ago" rel="noopener">Tough times</a> in the Bronx.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After making consecutive All-Star games as a rookie and sophomore in 2018 and 2019, Torres hit a wall in 2020 and 2021, sinking from one of the most exciting young players in baseball to a major liability in the Yankees’ lineup. In this sense, last year represented a rebound of sorts for Gleyber Torres—his stats weren’t spectacular (.257/.310/.451 with 24 homers and 77 RBIs), but they were still solidly above-average. He was in a weird halfspace—good enough to have considerable trade value, but not too good to trade.</p><p>This season, though, Torres has been arguably the best second in MLB through the first 12 games. No other player has stats as uniformly excellent as Gleyber Torres, who’s rocking a 1.179 OPS and drawing a league-leading 11 walks while also stealing bases at a career-best rate. Over the winter, Torres played winter ball in his native Venezuela and starred on Team Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic. The <a href="https://theathletic.com/4405815/2023/04/13/yankees-gleyber-torres-venezuela/?source=mlbtw" rel="noopener">experience</a>, clearly, has paid dividends.</p><p>“I went there to prepare a little bit earlier for the WBC,” Torres said to <i>The Athletic</i>, “but I was there working on breaking pitches. The league is really for mature guys and they have a ton of experience with breaking pitches and things like that. Not too many people threw me fastballs.”</p><p>To wit, Torres’ time in Venezuela had benefits far beyond the diamond; he didn’t just work on his game, he worked on himself, summoning the clarity to handle the pressures of being a Yankee.</p><p>“Now,” he said, “I just play the game. I don’t think too much at home plate. I just go there and I feel good because I did my routine before the game, and I know it works well. When the umpire says ‘play ball,’ I just try not to think too much.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Manager <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-clarke-schmidt-fastball-command-aaron-boone" rel="noopener">Aaron Boone</a> also did not sound too worried on Tuesday night, and no tests are schedule. according to Kuty.</p><p>Gleyber Torres has <a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/gleyber-torres/16997/stats?position=2B/SS" rel="noopener">gotten off to</a> a red-hot start for the Yankees so far this season.

Anthony Volpe is on the team, as he beat out Oswald Peraza for the shortstop job in Spring Training. It seems unlikely that there will be room for Peraza on the team if Torres keeps playing as well as he has to start the season.</p><p>Hopefully for the Yankees, Torres’ injury scare does not become something bigger than what they are letting on. He has been a key bat so far.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
