Not surprisingly, SS Gleyber Torres was held out of the lineup today after leaving last night’s game with back stiffness. Aaron Boone told Bryan Hoch it’s not serious and Torres is tentatively scheduled to return to the lineup tomorrow. Triple-A Scranton has a 12-hour bus ride coming up after tomorrow’s game. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Yankees play it extra safe and sit Gleyber tomorrow too.
