Tigers Place Gleyber Torres on 10-Day IL With Oblique Strain, Recall Jace Jung

The move pressures Detroit’s depth after recent pitching losses.

Overview

  • Detroit placed second baseman Gleyber Torres on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left oblique strain before facing the Red Sox.
  • The IL stint is retroactive to May 2, which makes Torres eligible to return as soon as May 13 if he progresses well.
  • Detroit recalled former first-round pick Jace Jung from Triple-A Toledo to fill the roster spot, and he is available for immediate action.
  • Torres exited Saturday’s game with side tightness, and although A.J. Hinch said early tests looked positive, he has not appeared since.
  • Torres, who accepted a $22.05 million qualifying offer and was hitting .259 with two homers and 11 RBIs, joins a growing injury list that already includes Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize.
