RONALD TORREYES
Leaves yard in win Torreyes went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's victory over the Nationals.
Impact Torreyes took Patrick Corbin deep in the seventh inning with a 397-foot shot. Now that Didi Gregorious is healthy again, he'll stand as the main shortstop in Philadelphia, causing Torreyes to fight for playing time. Across 61 games thus far, the 28-year-old is batting .276/.328/.408 with five homers.

Heads back to bench role Torreyes is out of the lineup for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader with the Nationals.
Impact Torreyes had started in 13 of the Phillies' last 14 games, slashing an impressive .349/.420/.535 over that stretch. With all of Alec Bohm, Didi Gregorius and Jean Segura healthy again, Torreyes won't have a path to an everyday role, but expect the Phillies to find a way to give the versatile infielder at least a handful of starts per week while he's dialed in at the dish.

Filling in for Alec Bohm Torreyes will start at third base and bat seventh Sunday against the Marlins.
Impact Torreyes lost hold of the everyday gig at shortstop earlier this month when Didi Gregorius returned from the injured list, but Alec Bohm's placement on the COVID-19-related IL shortly before the All-Star break has opened up work for Torreyes at the hot corner. He'll man the position for a fifth straight game Sunday.

Three singles in Sunday's win Torreyes went 3-for-4 in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Mets.
Impact The shortstop kept the line moving well from the No. 8 spot.

The 28-year-old has three multi-hit efforts in his last eight games, but he's also gone hitless four times in that span. Overall, he's slashing .272/.306/.388 with two home runs, 14 RBI and nine runs scored through 109 plate appearances.

He should continue to draw regular playing time until Jean Segura (groin) is back in action.
