Gleyber Torres holds the dubious distinction of being the only member of the Yankees Opening Day lineup at do not spend time on the list of injured this season-a distinction that it seems like he'll maintain now that Aaron Boone stated that he expects Torres to return to training on Tuesday (link). Torres was out on Saturday and Sunday because of a hamstring problem, but Boone told Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News that Torres was going to avoid an IL relay (link).

"Gleyber is good. Yesterday, I decided that I wanted to give him one more day, but I'm obviously encouraged by the MRI and, just to talk to him, he feels good, " the manager of the Yankees told Ackert.

Torres is very good at baseball. In this second season of his history, the Venezuelan hit 284/343/546 with 38 bombs while he was playing a passable short and second defense.

• Teammate from Torres Edwin Encarnacion Bryan Hoch, of MLB.com, may be ready to return to the game on Wednesdaylink). After suffering a "slight" oblique tension on September 12, Encarnacion is sitting at the table as New York prepares for the playoffs.
