Ronald Alcides Torreyes[1] (born September 2, 1992) is a Venezuelan professional baseball infielder who is currently a free agent. He previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies, and Minnesota Twins.
Torreyes began playing baseball at a young age in Barinas, Venezuela, after watching his father play. He was ignored by several MLB teams on account of his small frame, but signed with the Cincinnati Reds in 2010. Torreyes played for several minor league affiliates of the Reds, Chicago Cubs, Houston Astros, and Toronto Blue Jays before he was traded to the Dodgers in 2015. Torreyes made his MLB debut for the Dodgers that September, filling in for an injured Jose Peraza. He underwent another series of transactions at the start of 2016 before settling with the Yankees as a backup infielder. Torreyes was used sparingly until 2017, when a shoulder injury to Didi Gregorius saw him start at shortstop for the first month of the season. When Greg Bird returned to the lineup in 2018, however, Torreyes lost his place on the Yankees roster.
After playing one minor-league season with the Twins, Torreyes signed with the Phillies for a 2020 season that was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic continued to affect Torreyes in 2021, as he tested positive for the virus and had to miss a month of the season. Upon his return, he found a steady role with the club as a utility player on a roster that had been depleted by injury and illness.
