Gleyber Torres injury: Detroit Tigers 2B leaves game vs Rangers

Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres suffered an injury. The 29-year-old exited the Tigers' game on Saturday, May 2, with left side tightness before the fourth inning against the Texas Rangers at Comerica Park, replaced at second base by Hao-Yu Lee. Torres remains under medical evaluation.

The severity of the injury is unknown.

Torres is the slowest player on the Tigers' roster, and Duran has one of the strongest arms in the Rangers' outfield.

Third-base coach Joey Cora sent Torres anyway. Torres, though, stayed in the game 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.

This isn't the first time Torres has experienced an issue with his left side. He landed on the 10-day injured list in March 2025 with a left oblique strain. This story will be updated.
