New York Yankees activate SS Gleyber Torres (leg) from injured list

The New York Yankees reinstated shortstop Gleyber Torres from the injured list on Saturday.

Torres was placed on the IL on Aug. 21 with Grade 1 strains of his left quadriceps and left hamstring.

He is hitting .231 with a home run and six RBIs this season.

He fills the roster spot of right-hander Albert Abreu, who was optioned to the team's alternate training site after the second game of Friday's doubleheader with the Baltimore Orioles.
