Tigers Announce Latest Gleyber Torres Update
The Tigers have been without Gleyber Torres since May 2.
On Sunday, they announced the latest update on the 29-year-old.
Via MLB.com: “Rejoined the club in Baltimore on May 22 to take four days off from swinging a bat. Will attempt to re-enter the batting cage on May 26 in Detroit. Running and playing defense at full strength.”
According to the site, Torres could possibly return to action before the end of the month.
Before the injury, Torres had been batting .259 with 30 hits, two home runs, 11 RBI’s and 18 runs in 32 games.
He is in his second season with the Tigers, and is coming off a year where he made the MLB All-Star Game.
Evan Woodbery MLive Media Group wrote (on May 20): “Gleyber Torres (left oblique) continues to do pregame fielding drills, but A.J. Hinch said swinging is the hurdle. He’s not yet able to swing at full speed and playing at 75 or 80 percent is not feasible and could aggravate the injury.”
Torres had spent the first seven years of his career with the New York Yankees.
He made the All-Star Game in his first two seasons in the MLB.
