The Detroit Tigers faced a setback as Gleyber Torres, their second baseman, was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left oblique strain. This injury occurred during his impressive home run against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Torres was hitting .429 with one home run in the season's initial games before the injury forced his early exit.

To fill the gap, the Tigers recalled Justyn-Henry Malloy from Triple-A Toledo. Malloy, who performed well in the minors, offers a promising option to bolster the lineup. With multiple players already on the injured list, including outfielder Matt Vierling and right-hander Alex Cobb, the Tigers are dealing with significant roster challenges as they prepare for their upcoming series against the Seattle Mariners.
