New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres was removed from Friday night's game against Toronto for not hustling, a move made by manager Aaron Boone to send a message to the struggling team. Torres failed to run hard out of the batter’s box on what he thought was a home run, resulting in a single and a missed opportunity to score a run for the Yankees.
Boone and Torres had a discussion before the fourth inning, leading to Torres being replaced by Oswaldo Cabrera at second base. Torres later expressed regret for his actions, acknowledging the need to learn from the incident.
