Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres suffered an injury.
The 29-year-old exited with left side tightness before the fourth inning Saturday, May 2, against the Texas Rangers at Comerica Park, replaced at second base by Hao-Yu Lee.
He remains under medical evaluation, with the severity of the injury is unknown.
“I just know he didn’t feel great and asked to come out of the game,” manager A.J. Hinch said after Saturday’s 5-1 win. “He loves to play, so I immediately didn’t feel great when he asked to come out, but I’m glad he did and didn’t do anything further.”
In the first inning, Torres was thrown out at home plate – from right fielder Ezequiel Durán to catcher Danny Jansen – trying to score from second base on Riley Greene’s single.
Torres is the slowest player on the Tigers’ roster, and Durán has one of the strongest arms in the Rangers’ outfield.
Third-base coach Joey Cora sent Torres anyway.
Torres stayed in the game after the play at the plate and provided an RBI single off right-hander Kumar Rocker in the second inning, which extended the Tigers’ lead to 5-0.
By the fourth, however, Torres was out of the game.
“We’ll get him a full evaluation,” Hinch said. “We’ll see what comes of it.”
This isn’t the first time Torres has experienced an issue with the left side of his body. He landed on the 10-day injured list in March 2025 with a left oblique strain.
