Just as Gleyber Torres has finally begun to hit, the Yankees are not going to ask him to move positions — at least not yet.

In the wake of the Yankees acquiring Jazz Chisholm Jr., who has mostly played second base and center field as a big-leaguer, manager Aaron Boone spoke with Torres about getting some work in at third base.
But that came with some reluctance, and the Yankees are expected to give Chisholm the first shot of playing the hot corner.
“I’m a little reluctant to do that right now, but I will probably have Gleyber work over there a little bit just on different days, just to try to see and let it shake out naturally what makes the most sense,” Boone said Sunday before the series finale at Fenway Park.
“I think Gleyber wants to stay at second base, understandably. But I think he’ll be open to doing some work over there and take ground-ball days, just getting a little bit of work, get a little bit of feel.
