Tigers' Torres Hits IL Again

18 Jun

Summary

Gleyber Torres placed on IL with left oblique strain.
Torres exited Monday's game after a swing.
He previously missed a month with a similar injury.

The Detroit Tigers announced Wednesday that second baseman Gleyber Torres has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The move is due to a left oblique strain, an injury that affects the same area as a previous issue.

Torres, 29, sustained the injury during Monday's game against the Houston Astros after swinging at a pitch. This marks a frustrating setback for the player and the team, as he had already missed a month earlier this season with a comparable ailment.

Manager A.J. Hinch confirmed that the current injury is new but related to the previous one. Torres, a three-time All-Star, holds a .280 batting average this season with four home runs and 18 RBIs over 43 games played.
