The Detroit Tigers are in a difficult position as the MLB trade deadline approaches, currently holding a 31-44 record. Questions about pitcher Tarik Skubal remain but the more pressing issue is second baseman Gleyber Torres, who is on the injured list due to an oblique strain. Torres has dealt with this injury multiple times this season, complicating his status as a potential trade candidate along with his significant contract. Without a healthy performance to bolster his appeal, the Tigers may struggle to trade Torres effectively as the deadline nears.
