The Detroit Tigers have placed Gleyber Torres on the injured list with a side injury, sidelining the veteran infielder as Detroit navigates a difficult stretch of the 2026 season.
Torres, who turns 30 in December, has been one of the Tigers' steadier offensive contributors this year. In 43 games, he is batting .280 with a .395 on-base percentage, four home runs, 18 RBI, and an .790 OPS across 157 at-bats. His 29 walks against 33 strikeouts reflect a disciplined approach at the plate. Torres is also tracking toward 200 career doubles, currently sitting 18 away from that milestone.
Detroit enters this stretch holding a 30-43 record, placing them fourth in the AL Central, nine games back. The Tigers' roster currently carries 13 pitchers, five infielders, five outfielders, two catchers, and one designated hitter. Losing Torres tightens an already thin infield depth chart. Torres was previously activated from the injured list on June 3, making this his second IL stint of the season.
