TORONTO r12; The New York Yankees will open an 11-game road trip in Toronto on Friday Authentic Customized Titans Jerseys , a journey that will take them to the All-Star break.
But the Yankees received some bad news on what was an otherwise a happy Fourth of July.
After the Yankees defeated the Atlanta Braves 6-2 in the rubber match of a three-game series at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday, it was revealed that their superb rookie second baseman Gleyber Torres had a hip strain that will sideline him until at least mid-July.
Torres will be on the disabled list when the Yankees (56-28) open a three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays (40-46) at the Rogers Centre.
The Yankees will start right-hander Sonny Gray (5-6, 5.44 ERA) against Blue Jays right-hander Sam Gaviglio (2-2, 3.97).
Torres was removed from the game Wednesday during the fourth inning and an MRI showed a strain.
r0;Any time your17;re talking about a groin, a hamstring, quads or a hip r12; once you have a strain in there Youth Nick Nelson Jersey , you can punch through it or make it a worse strain,r1; Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. r0;So, I think the wise thing is to do this now. Gleyber wants to take a couple of days and work through it, but I think he also understands this is the best thing for him and for us.r1;
Infielder Tyler Wade will be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for the game on Friday. After going 3-for-35 (.086) in 13 games with New York early in the season, Wade was demoted to the RailRiders and batted .271/.332/.376 with two homers and 18 RBIs.
Torres is batting .294/.350/.555 in 63 games with 15 homers and 42 RBIs for the Yankees since being called up from Triple-A April 22.

Gray has pitched well at the Rogers Centre, going 2-3 with a 1.88 ERA in seven career starts while pitching for the Yankees and the Oakland Athletics Pittsburgh Steelers Jerseys Womens , who traded him to New York during last season.
The 28-year-old is 4-3 with a 2.71 ERA in 11 career starts against Toronto. As a Yankee, he is 1-1 with a 2.96 ERA in five starts against the Blue Jays, and he is 0-0 with a 3.52 ERA in three starts this season.

r0;That was embarrassing for me and I think for everybody in here Texans Cheap Jerseys ,r1; Gray said. r0;I havenr17;t beat a lot of teams since Ir17;ve been here. Ir17;ve been bad against the Red Sox, Ir17;ve been bad against a lot of teams. I donr17;t think one particular team you can say has my number or whatever. Ir17;ve been bad against multiple teams.r1;
r0;The good thing about Sonny is, her17;s got the equipment to get this right,r1; Boone said. r0;Her17;s got the stuff to be the same pitcher her17;s been at times in his career. This guyr17;s still a dude. Her17;s got to dig his heels in and itr17;s on all of us to try and help unlock that.r1;
