Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres is on a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo after recovering from a left oblique strain. His return comes as the Tigers struggle, losing 21 of their last 25 games and holding the worst record in the American League at 22-38. With the trade deadline approaching on August 3, Torres could become a valuable asset for teams in need of infield help, like the Toronto Blue Jays, whose current second baseman has underperformed this season. Torres has performed well in the past, slashing.259/.389/.328 before his injury, and could be a fit for the Blue Jays' contact-oriented lineup.
