Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Records two hits, RBI in loss
Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the White Sox.
While Detroit is struggling with a 2-8 record in its last 10 games, Torkelson has been heating up. During that same stretch, he's batting .314 with five extra-base hits. Overall, Torkelson is now batting .214 with a .720 OPS, and he seems to be trending upward toward the career-best .240 batting average and .789 OPS he posted during the 2025 regular season. His power is down, however, with only eight home runs in 59 games this year after going deep 31 times in 155 games last regular season, which tied his career high.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Three extra-base hits in win
Torkelson went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Angels.
The slugging first baseman collected a trio of hits for the second time this season in what was just his seventh multi-hit game of the campaign. Torkelson has hit safely in six of his last eight outings, improving his season slash line to .210/.318/.409 to go along with eight homers, 12 doubles, 21 RBI and 18 runs scored across 211 plate appearances.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Resting for front end of twin bill
Torkelson is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Orioles.
Torkelson will take a seat for the first game of the twin bill, but he'll most likely return to the starting nine for the nightcap. Colt Keith will get the nod at first base in the early game.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Getting rare day off
Torkelson is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Guardians.
Torkelson homered in Tuesday's loss to Cleveland, but he's struggled in May with a .136/.235/.288 batting line and 42.6 percent strikeout rate. Colt Keith will cover first base for the Tigers while Torkelson regroups.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Snaps slump with homer Tuesday
Torkelson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Guardians.
Torkelson started the scoring for Detroit in the second inning with his seventh home run of the season. It was his first long ball since May 3, and in 13 games in between, he went an ugly 5-for-46 with 23 strikeouts before Tuesday's long ball. It was a small step in the right direction for Torkelson, though he was lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning, and he'll need to stay out of another rough patch to hold onto consistent playing time.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Tough May continues
Torkelson went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Blue Jays and is batting just .135 this month.
Torkelson wasn't exactly lighting the world on fire with his .228 batting average through the end of April, though he at least had a respectable .786 OPS. This month, however, has seen Torkelson's offensive production really fall off. His OPS is down to .496 in May, and the first baseman has already struck out 26 times in 15 contests during the month. Torkelson still offers plenty of power potential, but his prolonged slumps make him hard to trust from a fantasy perspective.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Lifts off Sunday
Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Rangers.
It was the quintessential Torkelson game, as he struck out in his other three at-bats outside of his home run Sunday. The slugger had a five-game homer streak toward the end of April, and he now has six long balls for the season. Torkelson is also striking out nearly 30 percent of the time, making him a very boom-or-bust fantasy option.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Extends HR streak to five games
Torkelson went 3-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run during Detroit's 8-3 win over Cincinnati on Sunday.
Torkelson extended the Tigers' lead to 5-3 in the seventh inning by blasting a solo home run off Pierce Johnson. Torkelson has gone deep in each of his last five games, a complete turnaround from how he started the 2026 season, as he failed to go deep in each of his first 22 contests of the campaign. Tuesday's series opener against Atlanta will be his opportunity to extend the homer streak to six games.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Home run surge continues
Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 9-2 loss to the Reds.
Torkelson extended his home-run streak to four games, which is the slugger's longest at the MLB level. He last went deep in four straight games during his sophomore season at Arizona State in 2019, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. This is also the first time any Detroit player has accomplished the feat since Ian Kinsler in 2016. Torkelson's surge has quieted some concerns over his slow start, as he didn't go deep once in the first 23 games of the year.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Extends homer streak
Torkelson went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 9-8 loss to the Reds.
Torkelson has now homered in three straight contests after not going deep across the first 23 games of the season. The slugger is riding a four-game hitting streak overall, going 5-for-14 with a 1.509 OPS during the surge. Torkelson's overall numbers are still a bit below his usual standards, but he's quickly getting back on track after a slow start to the year.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Goes deep again Thursday
Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Brewers.
Torkelson went without a home run in his first 23 games of the season, but he's now gone deep on consecutive days. The slugger also struck out two more times Thursday, and his strikeout rate is now a tick below 30 percent. Torkelson has always been known as player with plenty of swing-and-miss in his game who can also hit homers in bunches, and that seems to be the case once again in 2026.
