Spencer Jones Off To Hot Start
Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones is off to a blisteringly hot start in High-A, slashing .500/.550/1.167 with three home runs and seven RBI through four games. His large 6'7" frame draws comparisons to Yankees superstar Aaron Judge, and with the potential for power production already exhibited, it is not an asinine comparison. A string of […]
Gleyber Torres Available To Play Wednesday
New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres (hip) said he's available to play on Wednesday against the Cleveland Guardians and is feeling much better after leaving Tuesday's game with hip flexor tightness.

The New York Yankees removed second baseman Gleyber Torres (hip/groin) from Tuesday's contest against the Cleveland Guardians after experiencing tightness in his hip and groin area.
