Gleyber sits with sore ring finger

DUNEDIN, Fla.— Gleyber Torres missed the Yankees’ 7-3 loss to the Blue Jays on Tuesday with an injury to his right ring finger, which he jammed diving back into first base during Monday’s victory at TD Ballpark.

The shortstop could be seen shaking his hand after the play following his walk in the second inning. Torres finished the game and underwent an

X-ray and CT scan afterwards, which both came back “clean,” according to Aaron Boone.

“He’s still a little sore,’’ Boone said. The manager said after the game he thought Torres would be back Wednesday.

With Torres out, Gio Urshela got his first start at shortstop. Urshela became the Yankees’ backup shortstop when Tyler Wade got sent to the alternate site following the acquisition of Rougned Odor.

“I have a lot of confidence in Gio with a glove on his hand when he’s standing on the infield,’’ Boone said of Urshela, who last started a game at the position while with the Blue Jays in 2018.

Two of the first three balls hit by Toronto on Tuesday went in Urshela’s direction and he made both plays cleanly, but in the third inning, he made a bad throw to first for an error that led to a run.

Urshela’s advanced numbers are not strong there, but Boone said he would be able to “handle the routine play. Gio is one of the last people I worry about on the defensive side of the ball.”

➤ Luke Voit is progressing well from surgery to repair a partially torn meniscus in his left knee and is doing some “light fielding,” according to Boone. Voit could advance to hitting off a tee next week, and the Yankees hope he can return in early May.

Because Jay Bruce has had success through his career against Toronto starter Hyun Jin Ryu ,hewas in the lineup. Bruce entered in an 0-for-14 skid, but ended that with a double.

“He looked good,’’ Boone said of Bruce’s at-bats.

➤ Giancarlo Stanton snapped an 0-for-16 streak with a single and Boone pointed to his main issue as hitting the ball on the ground instead of in the air.

The stats back that up, as many of Stanton’s advanced numbers are similar to where they’ve been throughout his career, but his ground ball rate has increased.
