Tigers Monitor Infield Depth as Torres Exits with Injury, Verlander Prepares Rehab Path

Detroit notes say Gleyber Torres left the game with left side tightness and is under evaluation, prompting a cautious removal as infield depth is thin after McKinstry and Báez landed on the IL. Hao-Yu Lee was recalled and Zack Short added for depth. Meanwhile, Justin Verlander is set for a bullpen session while on the 15-day IL with left hip inflammation, which could influence rotation depth alongside the continued struggles of Jack Flaherty and the absence of Casey Mize. Troy Melton—on the 60-day IL with elbow inflammation—begins a rehab assignment with Low-A and could push for starts in a month if all goes well. More injury updates are expected in the coming days.
