Yankees Move Torres to Leadoff Spot

The New York Yankees have moved Gleyber Torres back to the leadoff spot for the Subway Series finale against the Mets. Torres, who had been productive recently with a .300 average and .801 OPS since June 28, hit a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Mets, snapping a 15-game homer drought. The Yankees have particularly struggled against left-handed pitchers, prompting this lineup change. Meanwhile, other players around the league, such as Danny Jansen of the Blue Jays, Nick Senzel of the White Sox, and Nick Fortes of the Marlins, have been benched for various reasons, including poor performance and lineup rotations.
