He would play a shortened 2017 season with the Triple-A team of the Yankees before getting Tommy John surgery for a torn ligament in his left elbow. On April 22nd, 2018, Torres would make his long-awaited MLB debut. In his outstanding rookie season so far, Torres is hitting a .294 batting average with 15 homeruns and 42 RBI.<\/p>\n<h3>Injury Impact<\/h3>\n<p>This is a big blow for the young second baseman, who is building a great case to become AL Rookie of the Year. According to multiple reports, Torres could be out until the end of July. This could not come at a worse time for the Yankees who are a game back of the Red Sox in the AL East. As far as who could be Torres&#8217; replacement, that could fall upon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/d\/drurybr01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Brandon Drury<\/strong><\/a>, who the Yankees acquired as part of the three-team <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/souzast01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Steven Souza<\/strong><\/a> trade. The Yankees could also put veteran <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/w\/walkene01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Neil Walker<\/strong><\/a> at the spot as well.
