Torres was officially promoted from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and will start at second base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.
Torres was likely in line for a promotion to the big leagues last season, but his efforts were derailed by an elbow injury in June that required Tommy John surgery. The 21-year-old required only 14 games at Triple-A this season to prove to the Yankees' brass that he's back to full strength, with Torres' .347/.393/.510 line in the International League prompting his callup to the big club. It's expected that Torres will see at least semi-regular action at either second or third base initially, though if he struggles more than expected offensively, a demotion to Triple-A isn't out of the question. Neil Walker -- who is sitting out Sunday -- Tyler Austin and Miguel Andujar would seem most at risk of losing out on starts while Torres is up with the Yankees.
