Yankees rookie Torres goes on 10-day DL with right hip strain
Yankees rookie Gleyber Torres is going on the 10-day disabled list with a right hip strain, New York announced on Wednesday.
The move will be official Thursday.
Torres has been trying to fight through some pain lately, but after missing Tuesday's game and going 0 for two with two strikeouts on Wednesday, the Yankees simply could not put it off anymore.
"I think Gleyber wants to take a couple days and work through it," manager Aaron Boone told reporters after the Yankees' 6-2 win over the Atlanta Braves.
"But I think he also understands this is the best thing for him and for us."
Roster Move: Following today’s game, the Yankees placed INF Gleyber Torres on the 10-day disabled list (effective July 5) with a right hip strain.

Torres leads all rookies in MLB with 42 RBIs. He is second in home runs with 15.
Neil Walker will likely see more time at second base in Torres' absence, while recently recalled infielder Brandon Drury could get some action there as well.
