New York Yankees' second baseman Gleyber Torres was benched for two games due to a combination of performance issues and a minor groin/quad injury. Manager Aaron Boone emphasized the need for Torres to 'reset' and improve his performance, particularly his hustle, after a lackluster first half of the season and a poor showing in the Subway Series opener against the Mets. Torres returned to the lineup and made an immediate impact, hitting a home run and contributing two hits in a game that ended with a 6-3 score. Boone remains optimistic about Torres' ability to turn his season around.
