Gleyber Torres Still Out on Wednesday With Side Injury
Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres (side) will remain on the bench for Detroit's series finale on Wednesday against the Houston Astros at Daikin Park, per MLB.com. Hao-Yu Lee is making the start at the keystone and will bat eighth versus Astros right-hander Peter Lambert. This will be Torres' second missed game after injuring his left side in Monday's series opener in Houston. With a scheduled off day coming for the Tigers, his next chance to return to the starting nine will be for Friday's series opener back at home against the division-rival Chicago White Sox. The Tigers are not ruling out a stint on the injured list for Torres, who has already been on the IL this year with an oblique strain. The 29-year-old Venezuelan middle infielder has hit .280 (44-for-157) on the year with a .395 on-base percentage, but it has come with only four home runs, 18 RBI, and 26 RBI. Since returning from the IL on June 2, Torres has gone 14-for-41 (.341) at the plate with two homers, four doubles, seven RBI, and eight runs scored, so his side injury has come at an inopportune time.
