Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres — who signed a one-year, $15 million contract — is hitting .277 with five home runs across 38 games.

Detroit will travel home to host the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday, May 22, 2025. The first pitch is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. With the victory, the Tigers improved to 33-17 while putting the league on notice. For the first time since 2006, the 2025 ball club has the best record in the show through 50 games.

The Pirates are reeling, and just about everything is on the table for a last-place team but they won't be trading ace Paul Skenes.

Casey Mize has one more thing on his to-do list before he starts for the Detroit Tigers; Reese Olson projects the timeline for his return from injury.

Gleyber Torres has played a huge role in that, so you can imagine how nervous Tigers fans are now that he has departed Thursday's game with lower right leg discomfort. There's no diagnosis as of now other than lower right leg discomfort for Torres.

Steven Kwan and Jose Ramirez are the constants at the top of Cleveland’s lineup. Kwan, in the leadoff spot, is hitting .317 (60 for 189) with four homers, 17 RBI and 27 runs. Ramirez, who bounces between the second and third spot, is hitting .304 (52 for 171) with nine homers, 24 RBI and 26 runs.

Spencer Torkelson is on pace for 40 home runs and 128 RBIs. Over the past 10 years, a 40-homer, 125-RBI season has occurred 10 times by eight players.
