Records two hits, RBI in loss Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the White Sox.

Impact While Detroit is struggling with a 2-8 record in its last 10 games, Torkelson has been heating up. During that same stretch, he's batting .314 with five extra-base hits. Overall, Torkelson is now batting .214 with a .720 OPS, and he seems to be trending upward toward the career-best .240 batting average and .789 OPS he posted during the 2025 regular season. His power is down, however, with only eight home runs in 59 games this year after going deep 31 times in 155 games last regular season, which tied his career high.

Three extra-base hits in win Torkelson went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Angels.

Impact The slugging first baseman collected a trio of hits for the second time this year Wednesday in what was just his seventh multi-hit game of the campaign to this point. Torkelson has hit safely in six of his last eight outings, improving his triple-slash line for the season to .210/.318/.409 to go along with eight homers, 12 doubles, 21 RBI and 18 runs scored across 211 trips to the plate.

Resting for front end of twin bill Torkelson is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Orioles.

Snaps slump with homer Tuesday Torkelson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Guardians.

Impact Torkelson started the scoring for Detroit in the second inning with his seventh home run of the season. It was his first long ball since May 3, and in 13 games since then, he was mired in an ugly 5-for-46 slump with 23 strikeouts before Tuesday's bomb. It was a small step in the right direction for Torkelson, though he was lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning, and he'll need to stay out of another rough patch to hold onto consistent playing time.

MAY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Tough May continues Torkelson went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Blue Jays and is batting just .135 this month.

Impact Torkelson wasn't exactly lighting the world on fire with his .228 batting average through the end of April, but he at least had a respectable .786 OPS. This month, however, has seen Torkelson's offensive production really fall off. His OPS is down to .496 in May and the first baseman has already struck out 26 times in 15 contests during the month. Torkelson still offers plenty of power potential, but his prolonged slumps make him hard to trust from a fantasy perspective.
