Hurter was in a battle to lock down one of the final spots in the Tigers' bullpen in camp and posted a 3.12 ERA this spring to help his case. The big left-hander owns a tidy 2.49 ERA across 53 appearances and 108 1/3 innings for the Tigers since debuting in the 2024 season.

Torres was scratched with tightness in his lower back on Saturday, but it appears he should be good to go moving forward. The veteran accepted his qualifying offer this winter after hitting .256 with 16 home runs and a .745 OPS across 145 games for the Tigers in 2025.
