Torres will rotate around infield with Trenton

Gleyber Torres may not be putting on a Major League uniform in the immediate future, but when he arrives, the Yankees want him prepared to play a variety of infield positions at any given time.
New York's top prospect will see action at second and third base in addition to working at his natural shortstop position this season, according to MLB.com. Torres is set to open the 2017 campaign with Double-A Trenton.

"I think he'll be just fine," Yankees manager Joe Girardi told MLB.com. "As a shortstop today, you almost play two positions anyway a lot of times with shifts. We're adding third base, he's taking ground balls there. He took them for us in Spring Training over there."
Defensive versatility could speed Torres' ascent to the Majors. Since the retirement of longtime captain Derek Jeter after the 2014 season, Didi Gregorius has manned the shortstop position and last year posted a personal-best .276/.304/.447 slash line with 20 homers and 70 RBIs in 153 games.
The Yankees will employ an eight-day plan with Torres, playing him at shortstop for three games, third for two and second for two before a day off.
"I don't anticipate it being a problem," Girardi told MLB.com. "I'm sure there's some growing pains with it, but I think he'll handle it fine."
The Yankees acquired MLB.com's No. 3 overall prospect from the Chicago Cubs on July 25 as part of a four-player package in exchange for big league closer Aroldis Chapman. Torres, a native of Caracas, Venezuela, played 31 games for Class A Advanced Tampa after the deal, batting .254/.341/.385.
Following the regular season, the 20-year-old went to the Arizona Fall League where he became the youngest player honored as the showcase circuit's Most Valuable Player after hitting .403/.513/.645 in 18 games.
In big league Spring Training last month, Torres shined with a .448/.469/.941 slash line that included six doubles, a triple and two homers in 19 games. He was named New York's James P. Dawson Award winner for the most outstanding rookie in camp.
Torres and the Thunder begin the Eastern League season Thursday night against the SeaWolves at Erie.
