Didi Gregorius, SS
Injury: Torn cartilage on the right wrist.
Missed games: 3
The last: The Yankees initially feared that Gregorius would be lost for the season when he was injured last Saturday, but the daily improvement in cortisone shooting fueled the optimism of returning to the lineup before the final of the season. regular season Sunday in Boston. Gregorius put some balls on the ground before Tuesday's game, but did not make any shots. The Yankees will have a better idea whether Gregorius will be able to play Wednesday when his wrist will be re-examined.
Update Gregorius: "I was better than (Monday) when I got up (Tuesday) morning, so that's a good sign. … I hope that they let me in as quickly as possible.
Update from Aaron Boone: "I think (Wednesday) is a big day. It was exciting to hear that it seems to be improving every day and we see optimism with Didi, but (Wednesday) he goes to see the doctor and then (I hope that he will have time to do it). Then we will really start to get an idea. I hope that this review will go well and that it will move afterwards, but until that happens, I think we are a bit speculating.
Boone on the fact that Gregorius' wrist should affect his strikes or throws: "Probably the striking part. From what I understand, they feel comfortable that the launch is correct. Does taking cortisone (injection) have a very important impact on hitting? I think hitting would probably be the biggest test. "

Gleyber Torres, 2B
Injury: Tight left hip / groin
Missed games: 1
The last: Torres was in the Yankees' starting lineup until he was scratched at around 4pm. as a precaution. Torres was squeezed for a few days, but played with the problem.
Update from Aaron Boone: "He just had a bit of tension where he sometimes reaches her in the groin area. How much we bent over (Torres), I planned to give him a day off one of those days (against the Rays), especially on the grass. I just decided (to talk about it) (with Torres): "Let's do it tonight and go with you for the next two days." I thought it was the smartest thing to do. It will be available (off the bench). I do not think that's a big problem. He certainly felt he could have played, but I think it's the right thing to do. … I just thought it was smart to try to take a little bit of advance and I hope it will benefit one day.
