If not, Andrew Velazquez or Rougned Odor could fill in at third.<\/p>\n<p>Velazquez played well at short in Torres\u2019 absence and is a superior defender, but the Yankees are counting on Torres\u2019 bat to pick up where he left off last month.<\/p>\n<p>Torres has mostly been a mess at the plate this season, his power virtually gone, but he was hitting well before he suffered the injury diving into a base.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/1234163311.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Yankees\" class=\"wp-image-19336245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/1234163311.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/1234163311.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/09\/1234163311.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Gleyber Torres<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In his past seven games, Torres went 10-for-24 with four doubles and five RBIs.<\/p>\n<p>The home run has just about completely dis<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eared for Torres.<\/p>\n<p>After hitting 24 homers in 123 games as a rookie in 2018, Torres exceeded expectations with 38 home runs in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>        <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Podcast\" width=\"100%\" height=\"188px\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.acast.com\/pinstripe-pod\/gerritcolehasreturnedtoaceform?accentColor=2a2a2a&amp;bgColor=f6f6f6&amp;font-family=proxima%20nova&amp;logo=false&amp;secondaryColor=cc3333\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden;\"><br \/>\n        <\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>But his numbers fell off a cliff in the COVID-shortened season a year ago, with his slugging percentage dropping from .535 to .368.

The left fielder went hitless in four at-bats and is 2-for-21 with a double, four walks and five strikeouts in his past six games. He hasn\u2019t had an RBI in 25 plate appearances, extending his brutal stretch since arriving to the Yankees from Texas at the trade deadline.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron Boone has defended Gallo, pointing to his walks, power and potential.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want him to get hot and hit for power,\u2019\u2019 Boone said. \u201cI still think what we\u2019re seeing is a guy that\u2019s stringing together really good at-bats. I know a hot streak is coming because he\u2019s not a guy that\u2019s not seeing the ball well. \u2026 I\u2019m watching at-bat after at-bat of his and see the quality of it. I trust in the fact he\u2019s gonna get rolling for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>Nestor Cortes Jr. is scheduled to start for the Yankees on Friday against the Orioles, with Jordan Montgomery going Saturday and Corey Kluber making his second start on Sunday since returning from a strained shoulder that sidelined him for three months.\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
