Lenny Torres

Gleyber Torres, 29-year-old three-time All-Star second baseman for the Detroit Tigers, was placed on the 10-day injured list on May 6, 2026 (retroactive to May 4) due to a left oblique strain. He departed Saturday's game against Texas in the third inning after being thrown out at home plate. Before the injury, Torres was performing well offensively with a .259/.389/.328 batting line and wRC+ of 111 (11% above league average). He leads the team with 25 walks and is drawing walks at a career-best 17.4% rate. However, he has only 2 home runs in 32 games. As of May 18, manager A.J. Hinch indicated Torres is still day-to-day and not yet ready for a rehab assignment, despite completing on-field work. The injury comes at a difficult time for the Tigers, who are dealing with multiple infield injuries (Trey Sweeney shoulder strain, Javier Báez ankle sprain, Zach McKinstry recently returned from hip/abdominal inflammation).
