Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Heads to IL with strained oblique
Rotowire
The Tigers placed Torres on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left oblique strain.
Torres was removed from Friday's game versus the Dodgers and didn't play Saturday because of what the Tigers had referred to as a rib injury that initially popped up late in spring training. However, testing has apparently revealed an oblique strain. Torres will be eligible to return next week, but oblique strains typically require longer than minimum stays on the IL. Colt Keith shifted to second base in the Tigers' last game and should continue to play there while Torres is out, with Spencer Torkelson handling first base.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Not starting Saturday
Rotowire
Torres (ribs) is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Saturday.
Torres was removed in the sixth inning of Friday's extra-inning loss when he aggravated a rib injury after hitting a home run in the third frame. The injury doesn't appear to be severe enough for him to warrant a stint on the IL, but he'll sit out of Saturday's contest ahead of Monday's series opener against the Mariners. Colt Keith will start at the keystone and bat fifth against Dodgers right-hander Roki Sasaki.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Exits early Friday
Rotowire
Torres was removed from Friday's game against the Dodgers due to an apparent side injury, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Torres hit a solo home run in the third inning of Friday's contest but was grabbing at his left side while rounding the bases. He remained in the game for a bit longer but was eventually replaced at second base in the sixth frame. The fact that he was able to stay in the game after initially displaying discomfort may be a good sign that his injury is minor, but the Tigers should provide more details on his status in the near future.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Has solid debut with new club
Rotowire
Torres went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Dodgers. He also stole a base.
Torres batted second in his debut with the Tigers, and he figures to remain near the top of the order all season. After playing with the likes of Aaron Judge and Juan Soto last year in New York, the infielder will hit in a more prominent spot with Detroit, which could balance out a downgrade in his supporting cast. The stolen base is also an encouraging sign for Torres, who only swiped four bags in 2024 after recording at least 10 steals in each of the previous three seasons.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Back in lineup at DH
Rotowire
Torres (quadricep) will serve as Detroit's designated hitter and No. 3 batter in Monday's Grapefruit League game against Pittsburgh, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Torres is back in the lineup one day after being scratched from the starting nine ahead of the Tigers' game against the Orioles due to a right quad bruise. Though Torres will be eased back into action in a non-defensive role, he'll presumably be ready to resume playing second base within the next few days.
