Spencer Torkelson shows signs of life in Tigers' rout

Spencer Torkelson went 2-for-4 in the Tigers' 13-0 thrashing of the Diamondbacks, contributing a double and scoring twice.

Fantasy Impact

This performance, while a bright spot, hardly moves the needle on Torkelson's underwhelming season stats. With a batting average lingering around the Mendoza Line at .227 and a modest power output of just two home runs over 42 games, fantasy managers might still be wary. However, his ability to hit doubles—he's racked up 14 so far—suggests there's potential for extra-base hits, which could hint at untapped power. Owners should keep an eye on whether Torkelson can build on this game and start to offer more consistent production, but for now, he remains a risky play in most formats.
