Tigers’ Gleyber Torres Returns to Yankee Stadium for First Time Since World Series
Gleyber Torres, now with the Detroit Tigers, has been a vital contributor despite a post-All-Star break slump, holding a .392 average with runners in scoring position this season, manager said.
- On Tuesday, Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres made his first return to Yankee Stadium as a visiting player, sporting cornrows and a full beard after signing a one-year $15 million contract in December.
- Having spent his first seven big-league seasons with the New York Yankees, Torres left after their World Series loss and signed a one-year $15 million deal with the Detroit Tigers.
- Entering the series, Gleyber Torres was batting.259 with 15 homers and 66 RBIs in 128 games, excelling with two outs and runners in scoring position by hitting.392 and slugging.745 with a 1.160 OPS.
- Asked about the reception, Torres said `For sure I'm going to see my teammates, it's going to be fun to play against them`, and the Detroit Tigers could use a late-season surge tied for the most wins in the American League.
- Last year, Gleyber Torres hit.333 with a.387 OBP and.859 OPS in September and playoffs, and he feels pressure to improve as Detroit chases an AL Central title.
