Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Goes deep in loss
Torkelson went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Brewers.
As was the case Sunday when the Tigers fell 5-1 to the Twins, Torkelson provided all of the team's offense with a solo shot. The slugger is now up to six home runs through 18 games, and if he keeps up this level of production and stays relatively healthy, Torkelson has a good shot to surpass the career high of 31 long balls he posted back in 2023.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Provides offense Sunday
Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Twins.
While Detroit couldn't muster much offense as a team, Torkelson still managed to continue his hot stretch. The 25-year-old went deep for the second straight game against Minnesota, and he has four home runs in his last eight contests overall. Torkelson appears to be putting a down 2024 behind him and could be poised for some big power numbers in 2025.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Slugs fourth homer
Torkelson went 2-for-3 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Twins.
The 25-year-old wrapped up the scoring on the afternoon with a mammoth two-run homer off Kody Funderburk in the sixth inning, a blast estimated at 421 feet after bouncing off the facing of the second deck in left field. Torkelson appears to have put his rough 2024 campaign firmly behind him, slashing .314/.419/.647 through 14 games this season with four homers and 10 RBI.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Pops homer Tuesday
Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Yankees.
Torkelson hit the first of three fourth-inning home runs against Carlos Carrasco to help give the Tigers some breathing room. Torkelson's been enjoying a resurgence early on. It's taken him 11 games to reach three home runs after it took him 44 games in 2024 to reach the same mark, and he's hitting .310/.408/.643 with a 1.051 OPS through 49 plate appearances so far this season.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Cracks game-winning double
Torkelson went 1-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 4-3 victory over the White Sox.
The Detroit first baseman stepped to the plate in the ninth against Jordan Leasure with the bases juiced and did not disappoint, hitting a walkoff two-run double. Torkelson has been electric to start the season, slashing .324/.439/.618 over his first 41 plate appearances with two homers and six runs and RBI apiece. However, he is also striking out at a 31.7 percent clip and sporting a .474 BABIP, so caution should be taken with the 25-year-old's outlook for the rest of 2025.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Goes deep in win
Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Saturday's 7-2 win over the White Sox.
Torkelson has carried over a strong spring training performance into the regular season, as he's now batting .345 with two homers and a 1.127 OPS across eight games. The 25-year-old is seeing regular playing time in the early going, and if he can sustain his hot start, Torkelson could challenge the 31 home runs and 94 RBI he recorded during his breakout 2023 campaign, giving him plenty of fantasy value.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Two more hits Friday
Torkelson went 2-for-5 with a double in Friday's 8-5, 10-inning loss to the Dodgers. He also stole a base.
Torkelson walked four times and launched a home run on Opening Day, and he followed that performance up with two more hits and his first stolen base of the season Friday. The 25-year-old isn't known for his speed, as he came into the year with only three career steals at the MLB level, but he should hit plenty of long balls if he remains in the lineup most days.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Impressive Opening Day performance
Torkelson went 1-for-1 with a solo home run and four walks Thursday against the Dodgers.
Torkelson had a strong spring and benefited from some injuries on the Detroit roster, a combination that set him up for regular at-bats to begin the season. He took advantage with his first opportunity as he put together solid plate appearances, the most productive of which was a solo home run in the fifth inning. Torkelson has consistently shown patience at the plate in his big-league career, and he should be able to take a step forward in production if he can tap into his raw power more consistently.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Makes Opening Day roster
The Tigers will include Torkelson on their Opening Day roster, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Heading into spring training, Torkelson seemed to be on the outside looking in for a roster spot. However, he had a great Grapefruit League showing with a 1.069 OPS and five home runs. Torkelson looks to be in line for regular at-bats at designated hitter with Kerry Carpenter being needed defensively to cover for the Tigers' outfield injuries.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Continuing push for roster spot
Torkelson is impressing offensively and defensively this spring, and he may see time at DH, first base and in right field as a versatile bench option for the Tigers in 2025, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
A year ago, Torkelson was seen as a fixture at first base for years to come in Detroit, but a rough 2024 campaign has added a bit more uncertainty to the picture. He still seems likely to make the Opening Day roster, though he may have to settle for more of a bench role. Torkelson recently started seeing reps in right field, which gives him more potential versatility as a reserve. The biggest key for the 25-year-old remains his ability to make consistent contact, because if he can, he has the power in his bat to have a big impact.
