MLB: Yankees’ Torres is put on DL

New York Yankees rookie second baseman Gleyber Torres was put on the 10-day disabled list Wednesday because of a strained right hip.

Torres was removed after striking out in his second at-bat before the Yankees went on to beat the Atlanta Braves 6-2.

“We’re hoping it’s a short stint. But we think we’ve got to deal with it this time because there is a small strain there,” manager Aaron Boone said.

Torres is hitting .294 with 15 home runs and 42 runs batted in.
