Overview

  • Torres plays at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday for the first time since signing with Detroit in December.
  • He spent seven seasons with New York, including clutch World Series moments in 2024, before reaching free agency.
  • In 2025 he earned an All-Star start and has matched last season’s home run total while setting a career high in walks.
  • Manager A.J. Hinch lauded his consistent approach and mental toughness, with coaches citing defensive improvement despite negative metrics.
  • He is on a one-year, $15 million contract and will re-enter free agency after the season, with a possible Yankees–Tigers playoff matchup still being discussed.
