Detroit – Second baseman Gleyber Torres is returning to the Tigers for the 2026 season.

Torres Tuesday accepted a $22.025 million qualifying offer.

Torres, who will turn 29 next month, is coming off an All-Star season. He played in 145 games and started every postseason game. He finished with a .358 on-base average, fourth in the American League and tops among second basemen.

His offensive production waned down the stretch (he hit .209 in September) and after the season announced he’d been playing with a sports hernia. He underwent surgery in October and is expected to be ready for spring training.
