Gleyber Torres Still Unable to Swing at Full Speed
Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres (oblique) continues to do pre-game fielding drills, but manager A.J. Hinch said that swinging is the hurdle right now, according to Evan Woodbery of MLive.com. Torres is unable to swing at full speed yet, and playing at 75 or 80 percent is not feasible and could aggravate his left-oblique injury. It's why the team's starting second baseman hasn't been able to start a minor-league rehab assignment this week. The 29-year-old Venezuelan infielder could still be back in the Tigers' starting lineup before the end of the month if he can resume swinging a bat at full speed sooner rather than later. In the meantime, Zach McKinstry and Hao-Yu Lee will continue to form a platoon at the keystone in Motown. Torres is currently rostered in just over half of Yahoo leagues, but he's worth an injury stash if you need a boost at second base in leagues that count on-base percentage. The three-time All-Star is slashing .259/.389/.328 with only two home runs, 11 RBI, and 18 runs scored through his first 32 games in 2026 in his second year with the Tigers.
