Gleyber Torres Going Back on Injured List With Oblique Injury
Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres (oblique) is going back on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a left-oblique strain, according to Chris McCosky of The Detroit News. Torres reinjured his oblique on Monday in the series opener against the Houston Astros and was held out of the starting lineup the last two days. He will now miss even more time, and this is the second time he's been on the IL this year with the same injury. Torres missed over a month last time around, so fantasy managers should expect the middle infielder to miss at least that much time again. Hao-Yu Lee has started at the keystone for Detroit the last two games with Torres out, and he should share time at the position with utility infielder Zach McKinstry through the mid-July All-Star break. It's a tough time for the 29-year-old Torres to get hurt again, as he was hitting .341 (14-for-41) with two homers, four doubles, seven RBI, and eight runs scored in 11 games since returning from the IL the first time on June 2. Torres is a strong source of average and on-base percentage when he's healthy, but he might not be back until late July or early August.
