Bryan Torres - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Third straight start in leadoff spot Torres will start at second base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Torres will set the table for the Cardinals for the fifth time in seven contests after going 3-for-9 with three walks, two runs and an RBI in his prior four starts. He appears primed to handle a strong-side platoon role for the Cardinals while three key infielders (JJ Wetherholt, Masyn Winn and Blaze Jordan) are all on the injured list.

Collects three hits, steal Torres went 3-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 8-7 loss to the Orioles.

Impact This was Torres' first multi-hit performance in August. The arrival of top prospect Joshua Baez has taken a chunk out of Torres' usage in left field over the last week-plus, though he's still an option at second base as well. Overall, Torres is hitting .252 with a .701 OPS, four home runs, two steals, 17 RBI, 14 runs scored, one double and two triples across 136 plate appearances in the majors this season.

Sitting in third straight Torres is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Torres finds himself on the bench for a third straight game, with the left-handed-hitting outfielder sitting twice against right-handed pitchers during that span. Jose Fermin will get the nod over Torres in left field, but both players may be merely keeping the seat warm for prospect Joshua Baez, who has submitted an .893 OPS at Triple-A Memphis this season and could be in the mix for a late-season promotion.

Excluded from lineup Monday Torres is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Jose Fermin will receive the nod in left field while Torres heads to the bench for the series opener. With the Cardinals moving Lars Nootbaar to the Diamondbacks a week ago, Torres has settled in as the team's primary option in left. Torres occupied that spot in the outfield in six of St. Louis' previous seven games, going 3-for-19 with three walks, two runs and one RBI.

Drawing fourth straight start Torres will start in left field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Torres has been an early beneficiary of Monday's trade that sent Lars Nootbaar to the Diamondbacks. With Nootbaar out of the picture, Torres will pick up his fourth consecutive start in left field. Torres has performed at a near-league-average level this season with a .239/.293/.424 slash line and 97 wRC+ over 100 plate appearances, but the 29-year-old rookie may only be a placeholder in left field until the Cardinals are ready to promote top prospect Joshua Baez from Triple-A Memphis.

Blasts homer in win Torres went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Marlins.

Impact Torres was the offensive difference-maker, as his two-run homer in the second inning was all the scoring the Cardinals needed to avoid the series sweep. The 28-year-old is hitting .234/.308/.468 with three homers, seven RBI, seven runs and a stolen base across 53 plate appearances this season. With the St. Louis outfield back to full health, Torres has primarily been relegated to a reserve role since June 11.

Scratched from Wednesday's lineup Torres was scratched from Wednesday's matchup against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Torres was slated to bat eighth and start at second base for Wednesday's affair against Arizona before being mysteriously scratched. St. Louis has yet to announce the reasoning behind scratching the 28-year-old. Masyn Winn will replace him to play shortstop and bat sixth, while JJ Wetherholt will take over at second base.

JUNE 24 • ROTOWIRE

Losing out on playing time Torres is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Impact Torres will hit the bench for the second game in a row and looks like he may have to settle for a fourth-outfielder role along with a backup gig at second base following the recent returns of Lars Nootbaar and Nathan Church from the injured list. Like Nootbaar and Church, Torres bats from the left side of the plate, so he won't make for a viable platoon partner for either outfielder.

Hitting bench against lefty Torres is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Torres will retreat to the bench for the second time in the series, with both of his absences coming against left-handed starters. Nelson Velazquez will step in as the Cardinals' starting left fielder in place of Torres, who has gone 6-for-22 with a home run, three RBI and a 2:3 BB:K through his first six big-league games since being called up from Triple-A Memphis on May 22.

Fifth straight start in left field Torres will start in left field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Torres has now made five consecutive starts in left field since being summoned from Triple-A Memphis, including one versus a lefty. He's gone 5-for-15 with one home run and a 2:2 BB:K in his first four big-league contests. Torres should continue to receive regular playing time for now, though he's likely to head to the bench when Lars Nootbaar (heels) returns next week.
