Tigers manager A.J. Hinch termed Torres' removal as precautionary, while Torres indicated to reporters after Detroit's 1-0 win that all was fine.
Torres was injured on a force play at second base to end the inning off a grounder hit by teammate Riley Greene. Cleveland shortstop Brayan Rocchio had to lunge to grab a behind-the-back flip from second baseman Johnathan Rodriguez and Rocchio's elbow connected with the sliding Torres.
Torres stopped on the ground before the bag and was attended to for a few minutes before exiting the field.
"He got elbowed in the neck, which kind of jarred him," Hinch said. "He needed a minute and just felt a little off. So we erred on the side of caution and took him out. came to me in the third or fourth inning and gave me the notice that he was doing well and everything was fine. Hopefully, that was just a scare. It obviously looked painful and was kind of an awkward collision."
Javier Baez moved from shortstop to second base in the bottom of the first and Mark Sweeney entered to play shortstop.
Torres, 28, walked in the first inning to extend his on-base streak to 18 games. The All-Star starter is batting .279 with nine homers and 44 RBIs in 77 games.

NBA Trade Rumors: Miami Heat might be on the fence about $51 million superstar amid growing speculation

The Miami Heat could be approaching a major crossroads with star big man Bam Adebayo. After years of development, loyalty, and growth, questions are surfacing about whether it's time for the franchise to explore trade options for their All-Star center — and the reason boils down to a looming $51 million price tag. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The $51 Million Decision Looming Over Miami Adebayo, drafted 14th overall by Miami in 2017, has been one of the cornerstones of the Heat's success in recent seasons. His defensive prowess, versatility, and playmaking ability have made him invaluable to head coach Erik Spoelstra's system. However, as noted by the Sun-Sentinel's Ira Winderman, the clock is ticking on a major financial commitment. The 2025-26 campaign marks the final season before Adebayo's massive contract extension kicks in — a deal that will pay him $51 million for the 2026-27 season. 'This is the final season before Adebayo's massive contract extension kicks in,' Winderman wrote, sparking debate among fans and analysts alike. (H/t: Sporting News) Bam Adebayo's Contract Situation FILE - Miami Heat forward Duncan Robinson (55) passes the ball during the first half of an NBA basketball game against the Charlotte Hornets, March 10, 2025, in Miami. (AP Photo/Marta Lavandier, file) Season Salary Owned 2025-26 Final year before extension 2026-27 $51 million That $51 million figure isn't just eye-catching — it forces Miami to evaluate how Adebayo fits within their long-term vision, both financially and competitively. Bam Adebayo's Age and Timeline Concerns While Bam Adebayo remains a dynamic force, there's concern that his age could create a disconnect with the Heat's future plans. He will be 29 by the time that hefty $51 million season arrives, potentially putting him out of sync with any younger core the team might build around. Unless Miami makes a surprise run to the top of the Eastern Conference in 2025-26, this timing dilemma may grow harder to ignore. Adebayo's Unique Skill Set Makes the Situation Complex Trading Adebayo isn't as simple as moving a player with an expiring deal. His game is both a blessing and a challenge when it comes to roster construction: What Makes Bam Adebayo Unique - Size and Versatility: A 6-foot-9 center who can guard multiple positions. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now - Playmaking Ability: Uncommon for a big man, Bam excels at facilitating offense. - Defensive Anchor: His presence has been the backbone of Miami's defensive identity. Building a system around Adebayo requires careful planning. While his skill set is rare, not every franchise has the structure to maximize it — and not every front office is eager to absorb the financial weight of his upcoming contract. Is a Trade Likely? At this stage, a trade remains speculative. Adebayo is still an elite player, and his value around the league is undeniable. However, the combination of age, salary, and Miami's potential need to retool could lead to difficult conversations sooner rather than later. Teams with the right supporting pieces and cap flexibility would almost certainly inquire if Adebayo were made available. But with the Heat known for their patience and loyalty, it's unclear how aggressively they would pursue trade discussions. For now, Bam Adebayo remains a central figure in Miami. But with a $51 million contract on the horizon and roster dynamics potentially shifting, this storyline is far from settled. Also read: Whether the Heat ultimately double down on their All-Star or decide to pivot, expect the rumors and speculation to only intensify as the 2025-26 season unfolds.
