Gleyber Torres to Undergo Sports Hernia Surgery After Tigers’ ALDS Exit

The second baseman expects a roughly two-month recovery, a timeline that could push serious free‑agency interest until he is fully cleared.

Overview

  • He revealed the right‑side core injury after Detroit’s 15‑inning Game 5 loss in Seattle, saying the pain began around the start of the second half.
  • He delayed the procedure until the offseason, with typical recovery estimates ranging from about eight to twelve weeks and no anticipated impact on Spring Training readiness.
  • His production dropped sharply after the break, sliding from a .281/.387/.425 first half to .223/.320/.339 in the second half, with a .235/.316/.382 line over eight postseason games.
  • He thanked the Tigers’ training and medical staff for keeping him in the lineup despite the injury.
  • Torres is finishing a one‑year, $15 million deal and will reach free agency unless Detroit issues a qualifying offer, with some analysts suggesting clubs may wait to evaluate him post‑recovery, potentially delaying a signing into late December or January.
