get him in at some point (Friday night) and start him (Saturday). As a
left-handed hitter in the middle of the order, he kind of balances us out a
little bit. And
obviously
Kenny
Lofton Jersey , he’s so steady for us at shortstop. He’s kind of like a
quarterback out there at shortstop.”Gregorius suffered a bruised left heal on
Aug. 19 and missed 16 games. The Yankees were 9-7 while Gregorius was out. New
York holds the top AL wild-card spot.The Yankees used Gleyber Torres for 13

go great for the Atlanta Braves in their opening series against the Philadelphia
Phillies but it is important to remember that the 2019 season won’t be a sprint
