CLEVELAND -- Detroit Tigers All-Star second baseman Gleyber Torres left Saturday’s game in the first inning after being hit in the head while sliding into second base.

CLEVELAND – Tigers All-Star second baseman Gleyber Torres left Saturday’s game against the Guardians after an ugly collision on the basepaths with shortstop Brayan Rocchio.

The Tigers announced that Torres had sustained a neck contusion. Obviously, no neck injury is something to be taken lightly. But it appears Torres escaped disaster. He’s been so good this season, his first with the Tigers after coming over from the Yankees.
