Torres went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Padres.
Torres got the scoring started for Detroit, mashing his second home run of the season two batters into the game. The infielder has fit in nicely with the Tigers, as he's recorded at least one hit in 10 of his 13 appearances so far this season, and he's sporting a healthy .283 batting average to go along with a .748 OPS.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Productive from leadoff spot
Rotowire
Torres went 3-for-5 with a run scored and two RBI in Monday's 6-4 win over the Padres.
Batting leadoff, Torres helped set the table for the Tigers, and he pushed his batting average above .300 in the process. The infielder has exclusively batted first or second through 11 appearances this year, and if he keeps getting on base at a healthy clip, Torres could be in line for a big offensive season, particularly when it comes to runs.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Idle Saturday
Rotowire
Torres isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.
Torres will grab a seat on the bench Saturday after going 3-for-10 with a run scored and a stolen base over the first two games of the series. His absence will put Colt Keith at second base and open a spot in the lineup for Javier Baez to start at the hot corner while batting eighth.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Drives in three Monday
Rotowire
Torres went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and three RBI in Monday's 9-1 win over the Brewers.
Torres walked and scored to start things off in the top of the first inning, then chipped in an RBI groundout and a two-RBI single later in the game. The infielder has only played in five contests so far, as he missed some time due to an oblique strain, but he's gotten at least one hit every time he's been in the lineup. Overall, Torres is batting .389 with a 1.032 OPS, and a big campaign could be in store if he stays healthy the rest of the way.

Rotowire

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: On base three times in return
Rotowire
Torres went 2-for-4 with a walk in Friday's 7-6 win over the Twins.
Torres returned from a stint on the 10-day injured list due to an oblique strain. He picked up where he left off in his third game of the season, logging his second multi-hit effort. He's 5-for-11 with a home run, one RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base so far. Torres looks set to be at or near the top of the order most of the time, as long as his bat stays hot enough to justify that role.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Could skip rehab assignment
Rotowire
Torres (oblique) might not need a rehab assignment before being activated from the 10-day injured list, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Torres has been ramping up his hitting, and if he continues to progress on schedule, he might be ready for activation when first eligible Friday. The second baseman has been sidelined since late March with a left oblique strain that initially cropped up toward the end of spring training.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Taking swings
Rotowire
Torres (oblique) began hitting off a tee in the batting cages Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Torres said afterward that his oblique is beginning to feel much better, though there is still no timeline in place for his return. He's eligible to return from the injured list Tuesday but will likely require more than a minimum-length stay.

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.
Torres aggravated a rib injury during Friday's game against the Dodgers, Jeff Seidel of The Detroit Free Press reports.
Torres was grabbing at his left side after hitting a home run in the third inning Friday. He remained in the game for a few additional innings but was eventually removed in the sixth, though the team said after the game that his removal was precautionary due to a rib injury that he's been fighting recently. The Tigers may continue to take a cautious approach and keep Torres out for a game or two, though a trip to the IL doesn't seem imminent.

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.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Scratched from Sunday's lineup
Rotowire
Torres was scratched from the lineup ahead of Sunday's spring game against the Orioles due to a right quadriceps contusion.
It's likely a precautionary move from the Tigers, but Torres will probably undergo further testing. The second baseman agreed to a one-year, $15 million contract with Detroit in December after playing for the Yankees for the past seven seasons. He finished the 2024 regular season with a .257/.330/.378 slash line, 15 home runes and 63 RBI across 665 plate appearances.
Through 10 Grapefruit League games, Torres is batting .318 with a 1.221 OPS and three home runs.
The long balls are particularly encouraging for Torres, as he dipped to 15 homers in 2024 after having more than 20 in each of the previous two seasons. The 28-year-old's career high in home runs is 38, which he recorded back in 2019, and coming anywhere near that total in 2025 would be a welcome development for his fantasy prospects -- and would also be a major surprise. Either way, Torres figures to be a key offensive piece for the Tigers and should see plenty of playing time as long as he stays healthy.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Hits first spring home run
Rotowire
Torres went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and two total runs scored in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies.
Torres is off to a bit of a slow spring start with a .182 batting average through five appearances, but he is at least on the board with a home run. Even if he scuffles throughout Grapefruit League play, the 28-year-old will fill a key role with the Tigers and see regular playing time at second base.
