Gleyber Torres Could Begin Rehab Assignment This Weekend

3 years agoNew York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres (thumb) could begin a rehab assignment this weekend, per Erik Boland of Newsday. Torres is set to join Double-A Somerset, where he'll work out all week, with the hope that he'll be ready to resume game action at some point either this weekend or next week. The 24-year-old shortstop has been sidelined since August 8 with a left thumb strain, though it sounds as if he's nearing his return. Bronx native Andrew Velazquez and utility man Tyler Wade have held down the shortstop position in Torres' absence, though one or both of them stand to lose significant playing time when the latter returns. Torres has disappointed this season, slashing just .253/.328/.353 with six homers, 42 RBI, 35 runs scored, and 12 stolen bases. Perhaps he can find the form he was displaying before the injury, as he was batting .393 to start the month of August.--Tim Capurso
