## Resource

Detroit’s playoff dreams are fading fast as the Tigers plummet to the AL’s worst record — but a spark may be returning with Gleyber Torres back in the lineup after a brutal injury layoff. The slugger’s leadoff home run against Tampa Bay reignited hope for a struggling offense, especially as the team’s May collapse left them at 22-38. With Tarik Skubal’s uncertain future looming and high expectations still hanging heavy, Torres’ return offers a vital offensive boost. His .260 batting average and .715 OPS in the leadoff spot could be key as other young hitters like Riley Greene and Kevin McGonigle step up. After a wild-card run last year and a surprising playoff return in 2024, the Tigers need another miracle — but for now, Torres might just be the spark they’ve been waiting for.
