From 2002 to 2006, Torres played in the Cleveland Indians farm system for the Burlington Indians, Mahoning Valley Scrappers, Kinston Indians, Akron Aeros, and Buffalo Bisons.[1]
In 2007, Torres became a member of the Baltimore Orioles organization. He played in their minor league system for the Triple-A Norfolk Tides during the 2007 and 2008 seasons. On April 25, 2008, Torres' contract was purchased by Baltimore when Adam Loewen was placed on the disabled list.[2] He made his major league debut the next day against the Chicago White Sox.[3] He appeared in a total of eight MLB games for Baltimore, batting 2-for-9 (.222).[4]
