Torres Sidelined; Injury Woes Continue as Tigers Head into All-Star Break
Torres sustained his left oblique strain during Monday's game in Houston and missed more than a month of action earlier this season with the same injury before returning in early June. It's unclear at this point how long he might be sidelined this time around, but it will likely be longer than a minimum absence. Hao-Yu Lee has drawn two straight starts at second base for the Tigers and could share the position with Zach McKinstry while Torres is shelved.
