CHICAGO — The Yankees’ farm system can take considerable credit for what has transpired so far in this surprising if teetering 2017 season. But it might need to provide even more for the team to finish what it has started.

Enter Tyler Wade.

Wade, the Yankees’ fourth-round selection of the 2013 amateur draft, will join the team Tuesday here at Guaranteed Rate Field (worst ballpark name ever) in the wake of Starlin Castro’s early departure from the Yankees’ 6-5 victory with a right hamstring strain. So life has gone recently for the Yankees that even as they stopped their two-game losing streak, they still suffered a loss, with Castro joining Aaron Hicks (right oblique strain) as the second major contributor to go down in two days.

As the Yankees ate, showered and dressed after the game, Castro professed hope that he would avoid the disabled list.

“I don’t feel anything walking,” he said, adding he pulled up while running out a third-inning grounder before the hammy popped. However, a source said Castro had been feeling something in his hamstring, which kept him out for eight games last September, for a few days. Castro will undergo an MRI exam Tuesday morning to determine the injury’s severity.

The call-up of Wade, which required placing him on the 40-man roster, at the least gives Joe Girardi a bench piece, as he’s likely to start the righty-hitting Ronald Torreyes against White Sox southpaw starters Jose Quintana and Carlos Rodon. If the Yankees play it safe with Castro and deactivate him for at least 10 days, then lefty-swinging Wade would likely get the starts against righties.

“He’ll be able to plug the hole,” said a scout who has seen Wade play this season at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. “His speed helps him more on the offensive side. His bat works better when he stays in the ‘Put the ball in play’ mode.”

The Yankees have lost the services of several important players to injuries, and in each of these instances, the Yankees went the safe route in filling the void. Most notably, after Didi Gregorius got hurt moonlighting in the World Baseball Classic, they made Torreyes their everyday shortstop, retaining veteran Pete Kozma for backup, and Torreyes rewarded that decision with a solid April, replete with clutch hits.

If Castro needs a DL stint, then the Yankees are poised to go with Wade’s upside and keep Torreyes primarily in the reserve role at which he excels. Wade brought a .313/.390/.445 slash line in 70 games at Triple-A into Monday night’s action. For his minor league career, he had slashed .274/.356/.359. He has played 89 games at second base in his time as a professional, compared to 372 as a shortstop, and he has earned the confidence of Yankees officials that he can handle this.

Remember the days not long ago — specifically the 2013 season — when the Yankees reacted to injuries by going to the scrap heap and picking up Quadruple-A-type players who had been discarded by other organizations? They had no choice, so shallow was their roster. They’ve worked to avoid that ugly scenario since then.

They remain atop the American League East thanks in large part to Most Valuable Player candidate Aaron Judge and Sanchez, homegrown studs. And to Monday night’s winning pitcher Jordan Montgomery, who threw seven stellar innings against the White Sox and now sports a 3.53 ERA. Another drafted-and-developed guy, Tyler Austin, who missed nearly all of spring training thanks to yet another injury, slammed his first homer of the season Monday as he’s now getting his shot at first base until (or if) Greg Bird returns.

The Bronx Youth Fest keeps expanding. The results have been stellar so far. Can Wade further enhance the Baby Bombers’ reputation? Given that they’re due for another injury or three before they depart this city’s South Side, it sure would help.
