Per team announcement, the Detroit Tigers are placing Gleyber Torres on the 10-day IL with a left oblique strain.
MLBTR.com’s Steve Adams details why this is a tough injury for the Tigers to endure right now:
“Torres’ injury (or re-injury) is a tough blow for a Tigers team that’s finally been clicking of late — in no small part due to the play of its second baseman. Torres was healthy for 11 games between IL stints and batted .341/.413/.585 with two homers and four doubles in 46 plate appearances during that stretch. He’s been a prominent factor in the Tigers’ 8-5 record so far this month — already more games than they won in an unfathomably bad month of May that saw them flop with a 6-22 record.”
Oblique injuries can be very tricky to deal with in MLB, and Torres must have re-aggravated his oblique on a recent hard swing.
