Sore hip, apparently. Could play if he had to, but no need to push it.

If he had a sore hip last night, I'd hate to see what he can do 100%. Judge and Stanton are great, but you can get them out. We had no answer for Torres.

Really exciting player-came up through the minors as a SS, but really starting to remind me of a young Robbie Alomar at 2B.

How he's doing this, I don't know. That guy would show up at the ballpark and not know who the opposing pitcher that day was when he was with the Twins. He was one of the laziest, aloof and weak minded players that I've ever seen.

I guess he finally started taking his career seriously.

he's been hitting for a 126 OPS+ over his last 154 games now and he seems like a pretty good defensive outfielder. Steamer and ZiPS do project considerable regression, but they still have him at a 108-110 wRC+ and 1.2 WAR over ~60 games. That's still a good player.

Speaking of other Yankee players.....how are Sonny Corleone Gray and Neil Young Walker doing?

As a Sox fan, I'd say they're doing pretty great.
