Detroit Tigers 2B Gleyber Torres exits game with lower right leg discomfort
Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres hobbled down the steps in the dugout between the third and fourth innings, followed by an assistant athletic trainer.
He suffered another injury.
Torres, 28, exited the Tigers' May 22 game against the Cleveland Guardians with a lower right left discomfort. He previously was sidelined from March 29-April 11 with a left oblique strain, which sent him to the injured list. The severity of his right leg injury is unclear, as he continues to be evaluated.

In 2025, Torres has been one of the Tigers' best hitters.
He is hitting .277 with five home runs, 16 walks and 15 strikeouts across 38 games. He has been worth minus-4 defensive runs saved as the everyday second baseman.
In May 22' game's series opener, Torres lined out to end the third then exited the game, replaced by Andy Ibáñez at second base. The ball in play — hit with a 105.3 mph exit velocity — had a .670 expected batting average, but Torres was slow out of the batter's box and didn't run to first base.

The Tigers signed Torres to a one-year, $15 million contract in December 2024.
