Gleyber Torres, recently acquired by the Tigers, hit his first home run with the team against the Dodgers but aggravated rib soreness during the game. Despite feeling discomfort, he initially chose to stay in but was eventually replaced due to increasing pain. Manager A.J. Hinch emphasized the importance of not risking further injury so early in the season. Torres expressed hope to return quickly, noting that this specific pain was unprecedented in his career, contrasting his prior durability with the Yankees, where he appeared in nearly every game over the past two seasons.
"The last few days, I have played with it but today I wake up a little bit more sore than normal. During the game, it felt really uncomfortable."
"He went inside, got a little quick trick treatment, and came out and wanted to go. And then he was bouncing around, doing fine."
"It's not the time of year to mess with it. So, I took him out and started the treatment, and then we'll see how he feels (moving forward)."
"This particular discomfort was a new feeling during his career."
