The "F" went up while Brett Gardner beat in the fourth inning which to date has been an "A", perhaps an "A-plus", first half for the Yankees.
The "F" symbolized that the game had gone to the finals in the nation's capital on July 4, as BOS 3, WSH 0 was made – the Red Sox win again, presenting another match-us time to the Yankees. The Yankees were forced to play another solid game to defeat the Braves 6-2
. The Red Sox lead the Yanks of a match in East LA. Both have owned or shared the two best-ever majors in 62 of the last 63 days, have flip-floped 12 times since May 7 and have not been farther apart than 1-2 games since the 1st. may.
Thus, any positive or negative change to the ecosystem of these teams promises a repercussion as they fight head-on and desperately to avoid being a finalist of over 100 and host Sudden death of a game card .. earlier in the fourth inning finally made more sense than this "F" rising. Gleyber Torres again felt uncomfortable tension in his right hip when he hit the Braves starter Julio Teheran for the second time.
Torres had not started Tuesday because of what was called a stiffness in the hip, but Aaron Boone Torres was back in the lineup for Wednesday morning. Now he was out, the initial practice at Yankee Stadium once again encouraging Boone to say "I do not think it's a big deal."
But the result of the MRI was not back yet. The team called this test a "precaution". It has turned out to be revealing. Torres was placed on the DL with what Brian Cashman called "a low-grade strain of flexor (right) hip. That's why GM Yankees qualified his level of concern as "minimal" and said that he thought the second-baseman could be back "near the time of DL (10). days)."
Torres could return on the last day of the first half, but logic would just give him the All-Star break and make him come back for the Subway series to open the second half. Hopefully, Boone and the team have not been duped twice by gravity.
Personally, Torres is unlikely to be part of the star team, and his status as the best rookie of the year takes at least a little bit a shot, just as more than Angels Shohei Ohtani is back at DH, at a minimum. For the team, the Yanks are losing a player who has slowly progressed from ninth position in order to rush hour with a steady shot and clutch.
Torres, even after two at-bats and puffs on Wednesday, hit .294 with a .905 OPS and 15 homers – he was .339 with an OPS 1.159 and seven homers in 56 at-bat with riders in position score before Wednesday. Its withdrawal makes the Yankees' lineup less murderous and because of the proximity of the East AL race, even Losing Torres for 10 games has an impact.
Boston does not sob. The Red Sox have essentially played all season without second baseman Dustin Pedroia mixing Brock Holt and Eduardo Nunez.
Good teams persevere. The Red Sox have, just like the Yanks. Kyle Higashioka, for example, took advantage of the opportunity created when Gary Sanchez went on the DL and Austin Romine felt the narrowness of the leg to recover lost status over the past year. He hit his third circuit in four games in July while the Yanks took the Braves series.
Neil Walker, who has not played the regular hitter of the last eight seasons, will likely get most of the second base in the games against Torres. He must prove during this period that he is not designated as fodder. Brandon Drury could also have second place attacks, although the Yankees were hoping to keep him mainly as a third baseman / first baseman. In one way or another, other bats come looking for Drury to prove that he should stay.
And Tyler Wade will certainly be remembered because, with Torres coming out and Ronald Torreyes unavailable, the Yanks have no stop-short backup for Didi Gregorius. Wade, like Higashioka before, bombed cameos from the major league. But he has speed and defensive skills and maybe a left-handed bat that could help the Yanks in the far right, or maybe he can improve his value for a trade with the new opportunity
. upper season. Not when the difference between the Yanks and the Red Sox is this razor-close and the penalty for second place is three hours of sudden death on October 3rd.
