Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres said Sunday his left oblique strain isn't fully healed, forcing him to take a break from swinging as he works to return from the injury. Torres got hurt May 2 during a 5-1 win against Texas when he was thrown out at home trying to score from second base on Riley Greene's single. He was placed on the 10-day injured list May 4.

Torres joined the Tigers in Baltimore this weekend and said he felt pain the last time he attempted to swing. "It's not fully healed at the moment," he said. "In Florida, we do a really good job. We hit a couple days, feels good, but when we try to hit a little bit more, don't feel any good." He's taking four days off and will hit again Tuesday.

After Baltimore's walk-off win in game one of a day-night doubleheader Sunday, the Tigers have lost eight straight and 16 of 18 without Torres. "From the beginning, I thought it was going to be a short period," Torres said. "And now it takes me a little bit more than I expected. It feels really frustrating because I feel like I can't do anything for the team."

The three-time All-Star missed 10 games early last season due to a left oblique strain. He's hitting .259 with two homers and 11 RBIs in 32 games this season. Torres can do everything defensively and while running, but the inability to hit is costing Detroit.
