Tigers Send Gleyber Torres and Kerry Carpenter to Triple‑A for Rehab Assignments

Short stints in Toledo aim to pace recoveries to allow the hitters to rejoin Detroit's struggling lineup as soon as next week.

Overview

The Tigers announced Thursday that Torres and Carpenter were sent to Triple‑A Toledo to begin formal rehab assignments to evaluate their readiness for game action.
Kerry Carpenter is expected to start and lead off for Toledo on Thursday as he works back from a sprained AC joint and may play a full game under team supervision.
Gleyber Torres, recovering from an oblique strain, still needs at least one full workout day before appearing in a rehab game and could be available by the weekend if cleared.
Right‑hander Beau Brieske is nearing the end of a 30‑day rehab with roughly one week left after 5.2 innings in Toledo, and the club is monitoring him as a near‑term bullpen option.
If both position players return without setbacks they could rejoin Detroit for next week’s series in Tampa, which would help a 22–34 Tigers team whose season has been hampered by multiple injuries and roster disruption.
