  10/02/2025 • By RotoWire

  Torkelson (foot) will start at first base and bat cleanup Thursday in Game 3 of the American League Wild Card Series against the Guardians. Torkelson had X-rays after fouling a ball off his foot in Game 2 and also was hit on the hand/wrist by a pitch, but he's ready to roll for Thursday's winner-take-all tilt. The 26-year-old is 1-for-6 with one RBI and a 1:3 BB:K in the first two games of the series.

  Torkelson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 10-1 loss to Atlanta. He spoiled a potential shutout bid for Bryce Elder by taking the right-hander deep in the fourth inning. The long ball was Torkelson's 30th of the season, the second time he's reached that milestone in his career, and he's been on a tear in September as Detroit tries to hang onto its lead in the AL Central. Over his last nine games, the first baseman is batting .371 (13-for-35) with two homers, three RBI and six runs.

  Torkelson went 4-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-5, 10-inning loss to the Guardians. Torkelson was dialed in all night as he delivered his first four-hit performance of the season. He saved his best for last, belting his 29th home run of the year in the bottom of the 10th inning as the Tigers tried to cut into a 7-3 deficit. Torkelson is now two away from tying his career high of 31 homers, which he recorded back in 2023. Tuesday's long ball snapped an 18-game stretch without a home run for the 26-year-old slugger.

  09/15/2025 • By RotoWire

  Torkelson went 1-for-2 with two walks and a run scored in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Marlins. The Tigers could only muster four hits as a team, but Torkelson's patience at the plate helped lead to the first run of the game, which was ultimately enough for the win. The Detroit first baseman is known for his power, as he has 28 home runs on the season, though he's also shown an improved batting eye this year. Torkelson's walk rate is currently 11.6 percent, which is up from 8.8 percent during the 2024 regular season and would be a new career best.
