Zack Short joins Tigers from Triple-A, but not for Gleyber Torres
Gleyber Torres is expected to avoid the injured list, but the Detroit Tigers still called up Zack Short from Triple-A Toledo – and optioned Jace Jung.
An old friend has arrived. The Detroit Tigers selected infielder Zack Short from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, May 3, before the finale of the three-game series against the Texas Rangers at Comerica Park. The 30-year-old previously played for the Tigers from 2021-23, including his MLB debut in April 2021.
Second baseman Gleyber Torres left Saturday's 5-1 win with left side tightness, but Short didn't replace Torres. He replaced infielder Jace Jung , whom the Tigers optioned. Meanwhile, Torres is expected to avoid the injured list, though he wasn't in Sunday's starting lineup.
Torres is considered day-to-day. "All of the tests came back with positive news, which is great," manager A. J.
Hinch said about Torres' status before Sunday's game. "He'll start moving around and see if we're going to use him, or we'll just give him the day. When those tests came back last night, it made me sleep a lot better.
