Drives in run in spring debut Torrens (finger) went 0-for-1 with an RBI sacrifice fly in a Cactus League tie with the Athletics on Saturday, his Cactus League debut.

Impact Torrens is expected to see what has been estimated as about 45 percent of the playing time behind the dish as a platoon mate of Tom Murphy this coming season. The 24-year-old acquitted himself well after arriving via trade with the Padres last season and distinguished himself with a .300/.373/.500 line that included 39 extra-base hits and 62 RBI at Double-A Amarillo back in 2019.

Serving as DH on Saturday Torrens (finger) is batting seventh and serving as the designated hitter in Saturday's spring game against the Athletics, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Torrens will make his spring debut Saturday after missing time due to a finger laceration early in camp. If all goes well Saturday, he could resume catching duties in the near future.

May serve as DH on Saturday Manager Scott Servais said Torrens (finger) could receive a couple at-bats at designated hitter in Saturday's spring game against the A's, Lauren Smith of The Tacoma News Tribune r...

Impact The 24-year-old has yet to make his spring debut due to a finger laceration, but it appears he'll be on the field Saturday. If all goes well at the plate, Torrens is then expected to be worked into the catching rotation.

Expected to play soon Torrens has been dealing with a cut on his finger but will make his spring debut over the weekend, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Impact Torrens is expected to back up Tom Murphy this season, but the Mariners have estimated that he'll receive up to 45 percent of the starts behind the plate with Murphy coming off a season missed to injury. The delayed start to Torrens' spring shouldn't hurt him too much in that pursuit, as he'll still have several weeks to prepare for Opening Day.

MARCH 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Likely for '40-45%' of playing time Torrens (back) is slated to operate in a near-even timeshare with Tom Murphy behind the plate in 2021, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 24-year-old has reportedly impressed manager Scott Servais with his knowledge of the pitching staff, and he turned in a serviceable .257/.325/.371 line with five doubles, one home run and six RBI across 78 plate appearances after arriving via trade from the Padres last season. Murphy is returning from missing all of the 2020 campaign with a fractured foot, and although the veteran is back to full health, the team is expected to manage his workload and give Torrens plenty of opportunities for playing time in the process.

Out with back spasms Torrens was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with back spasms.

Impact Torrens has been withheld from the lineup in three of the past four games, and the back spasms could help explain his absence. Joe Hudson was promoted from the alternate site for catching depth.

Not starting season finale Torrens is out of the lineup Sunday against the Athletics, Lauren Smith of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Impact Torrens has two hits in his past 16 at-bats and is on the bench for the third time in the past four games. Joseph Odom receives the start behind the plate in the season finale.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to bench for second game Torrens is not in the lineup for the second half of Saturday's doubleheader against Oakland, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Torrens went 0-for-4 in the first game of the day, though the Mariners likely wouldn't have asked him to catch twice on the same day regardless of how the afternoon game went. Joseph Odom will start behind the plate in his absence.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Plates two versus former team Torrens went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Padres.

Impact Torrens' two-run double in the third inning staked Seattle pitcher Justus Sheffield to a 3-1 lead, which would be all the run support the southpaw would need in his quality start. Since being acquired from San Diego in a seven-player deal Aug. 30, Torrens has taken over as Seattle's top catcher and has impressed in regular playing time, slashing .293/.370/.463 in 12 games with his new team.

Resting Sunday Torrens is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Torrens had started the Mariners' previous five games behind the dish, so he was overdue for a day off. Joseph Odom will start at catcher in his stead.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

First RBI on new club Torrens went 2-for-4 with a two-run double in a win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Impact The Mariners surprisingly jumped on Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen early, and Torrens' timely two-bagger capped a four-run first inning for Seattle. Torrens has hit the ground running since arriving via trade from the Padres at the deadline, hitting safely in four of his last six games and churning out a pair of multi-hit efforts within that span.

Contributes two-bagger in loss Torrens went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a loss to the Giants on Tuesday.

Impact The recently acquired backstop, much like former Padres teammate and fellow trade-deadline arrival Ty France, is thriving in his new Seattle digs. Torrens has now hit safely in three straight games, with Tuesday's double marking his first extra-base hit in a Mariners uniform. Overall, Torrens has reached safely in all four games of his tenure with his new squad, scoring twice along the way.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Walks in team debut Torrens went 0-for-3 with a walk in a win over the Rangers on Friday, a game that marked his Mariners debut.

Impact A trade-deadline arrival, Torrens is slated to serve as the primary catcher for what remains of the regular season. The former Padres prospect was slashing .273/.333./.364 in San Diego before the trade and has shown some offensive upside during his time in the minors.
