Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Belts two-run homer
Torkelson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Red Sox.
Torkelson's two-run blast in the fifth was the first hit of the day for the Tigers and provided a lead they would not relinquish. It was Torkelson's eighth homer of the season and his fourth in 15 games since returning to the majors.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Hits key home run
Torkelson went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Angels.
After going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts Tuesday, Torkelson turned the page quickly and helped lead Detroit to the narrow victory. In 11 games since getting recalled from Triple-A Toledo, the 25-year-old is batting .333 with three home runs and eight RBI. Torkelson seems to be settling in after a sluggish start to his third MLB campaign, which ultimately got him sent down in early June.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Goes deep in Monday's win
Torkelson went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run in Monday's 6-3 win over the White Sox.
Torkelson has been in a nice groove since returning to the majors on Aug. 17. Across nine games, the 25-year-old is batting .333 with two home runs and six RBI, including the big effort on his birthday Monday. Torkelson mashed 31 home runs last season, and while he's had an up-and-down 2024 campaign, the talent and upside are still there for him to make a significant fantasy impact.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Lifts homer
Torkelson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 10-2 loss to the Cubs.
Torkelson brought home the Tigers' only runs Thursday, tagging Justin Steele for a two-run shot in the seventh inning. In five games since returning to Detroit's big-league roster, Torkelson is 7-for-17 (.412) with two doubles, a triple and a home run. The 24-year-old has a .652 OPS in 249 plate appearances on the year.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Tallies four hits Tuesday
Torkelson went 4-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Cubs.
It's a small sample, but Torkelson is now 6-for-10 since getting recalled from Triple-A Toledo over the weekend. Encouragingly, he's also only struck out twice in three games. Making consistent contact has been an issue at times for Torkelson, but the 24-year-old has tremendous power, as evidenced by his 31 home runs last season. He could make a decent fantasy impact down the stretch if he stays locked in at the plate.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Two extra-base hits in return
Torkelson went 2-for-3 with a double, a triple, a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Yankees.
Torkelson registered two hard hits and reached base three times in his first major-league contest since June 1. The 24-year-old slashed .239/.356/.442 across 275 plate appearances at Triple-A Toledo and seems likely to receive the bulk of playing time at first base for the remainder of the 2024 season.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Back with big club
The Tigers will recall Torkelson from Triple-A Toledo prior to Saturday's game against the Yankees, Evan Petzold of The Detroit Free Press reports.
After a 31-homer campaign in 2023, Torkelson was expected to be a staple in the heart of the Detroit lineup all season, but he was sent down to the minors June 3 after slashing .201/.266/.330 with four home runs across 229 plate appearances with the Tigers. After a somewhat lackluster first month in Toledo, Torkelson has shown improved form at the plate for the Triple-A club since the All-Star break, slashing .242/.374/.516 with six home runs and an 18.3 percent walk rate over his last 24 games. The Tigers appear ready to give the 24-year-old Torkelson another look as their everyday first baseman, with Bligh Madris getting optioned back to Toledo in a corresponding move.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Struggles continuing at Triple-A
Torkelson is slashing .229/.347/.375 with five home runs, a 14.8 percent walk rate and a 30.6 percent strikeout rate over 173 plate appearances at Triple-A Toledo since his June 3 demotion.
Though he's now been at Triple-A for a month and a half, Torkelson hasn't provided any evidence that he's made enough progress with his plate approach to return to Detroit. After turning in a .129 ISO in 229 plate appearances with the Tigers prior to his demotion, Torkelson has shown only slightly more pop at against lesser pitching (.146 ISO), and his strikeout rate is actually six points higher than what he posted in the majors. Expect the Tigers to continue to get by with a committee of players at first base until Torkelson starts producing at a level that warrants a call-up.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Officially sent to Triple-A
The Tigers optioned Torkelson to Triple-A Toledo on Monday.
Multiple reports after the Tigers' 8-4 win over the Red Sox on Sunday suggested that Torkelson was en route to Triple-A, but Detroit waited until shortly before Monday's series opener in Texas to make the move official. Torkelson slugged 31 home runs last season, and many anticipated another step forward in 2024, but it simply hasn't come together, with the former top prospect slashing just .201/.266/.330 with four home runs across 229 plate appearances. He'll be back in the majors eventually, but a reset at Toledo was deemed necessary. Mark Canha will draw the start at first base Monday, and Gio Urshela will also be an option at the position while Torkelson is out of the picture.
