Torkelson went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and two RBI in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Rockies. Torkelson dealt with an illness recently, but he appears to be recovered and ready to keep contributing for the Tigers. Since returning to the majors on Aug. 17, the 25-year-old is batting .253 with 13 RBI in 24 games. Torkelson is still bit of a streaky performer, though he's a legitimate power threat when he's locked in. Expect him to continue receiving regular playing time during the final few weeks of the year.

Torkelson (illness) will start at first base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Rockies. One of the victims of a bug that has been making its way around the Detroit clubhouse, Torkelson sat out Tuesday's 11-0 win after feeling under the weather following the Tigers' recent road trip. The day off looks to be all Torkelson needed to move past the ailment, as he'll draw back into the starting nine Wednesday. Since getting called up from Triple-A Toledo on Aug. 17, Torkelson has produced a .757 OPS with four home runs, 10 RBI and 14 runs in 22 games.

Andy Ibanez is taking over for Torkelson on Tuesday as the first baseman and batting sixth.

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.
