Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Tallies three hits Saturday
Rotowire
Torres went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a run scored in Saturday's 15-7 loss to the Mariners.
Torres had been scuffling a bit, as he came into Saturday having gone just 2-for-18 in the past week, but he snapped out of the slump with his first three-hit effort since June 19. Overall, the All-Star infielder is now batting .277 with an .808 OPS and 50 runs scored across 83 games, and he's been an effective No. 2 hitter for the Tigers ahead of sluggers Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson.
Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Checking back into starting nine
Rotowire
Torres (neck) will start at second base and bat second in Monday's game against the Rays.
Torres will rejoin the starting nine after he was held out of Sunday's 7-2 win over Cleveland for precautionary purposes due to the bruised neck he sustained on a hard slide into second base Saturday. Recently named to his third All-Star team and announced as an All-Star starter for the first time, Torres will look to close the Tigers' first-half slate on a high note after slashing .278/.387/.422 with nine home runs, four steals, 44 RBI and 47 runs through his first 78 games of the season.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Reaches three times in loss
Rotowire
Torres went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 11-7 loss to the Nationals.
Torres has been locked in lately, going 12-for-40 (.300) over his last 10 games with two home runs, six RBI and 10 runs scored. That strong play has earned the second baseman a starting nod in the All-Star Game in his first season with the Tigers, and he's poised for a productive second half batting ahead of powerful hitters such as Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson.
Torres went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and two total runs scored in Saturday's 10-5 win over the Twins.
Torres hit his second home run in the last three days, giving him four long balls this month and nine total for the season. The infielder's power surge is notable, as his four June home runs have come across 25 games, while he had five long balls in his previous 46 contests. At this rate, last year's mark of 15 home runs with the Yankees is well within reach, and Torres could reach the 20-homer plateau for the fifth time in his career if he stays dialed in.

Torres went 1-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and two total runs scored in Thursday's 8-0 win over the Athletics.
Torres provided a spark from the leadoff spot, smashing his eighth home run of the season in the seventh inning with a runner on. It was the infielder's first long ball since he went deep twice back on June 13, but he's continued to rake even without leaving the yard, as he's now batting .333 with seven RBI and eight runs scored in 11 games since that multi-homer effort. Torres is thriving near the top of a strong Detroit lineup in his first season with the Tigers and has an .816 OPS through 69 contests.
