Spencer Torkelson - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Launches 19th home run Torkelson went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Cubs.

Impact Torkelson hit his 19th home run of the season in the second inning against Chicago starter Colin Rea. The slugging first baseman has now gone deep five times across his last 11 games as he continues to find his power stroke following a slow start to the season. Torkelson is seeking his second straight 30-homer campaign and third overall in his MLB career.

Slugs two homers Saturday Torkelson went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four total RBI in a 7-0 win against the Angels on Saturday.

Impact Torkelson recorded both Detroit long balls Saturday, launching a three-run homer in the first inning and a solo shot in the fifth. It was the first multi-homer game of the campaign for the first baseman, while the four RBI set a season-high mark. Torkelson's .209 batting average isn't setting the world on fire, but he's been a steady source of power with 18 homers, second-most on the team behind Dillon Dingler (19).

Goes deep again Friday Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 10-2 win over the Phillies.

Impact Torkelson hit his second home run over his last three games, and he's now up to 16 long balls on the season. The 26-year-old matched his career best with 31 homers in 155 regular-season contests last year. He's sitting at his current total after 93 games, so he'll need to finish on a torrid pace if he wants to set a new career high in 2026, though Torkelson is plenty capable of going on power binges.

Pops 15th home run Wednesday Torkelson went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Athletics.

Impact Torkelson continued his strong recent stretch of play with his 15th home run of the season. Over his last 10 games, the slugging first baseman is batting .278 with three long balls and 10 RBI. Torkelson's free-swinging approach leaves him susceptible to slumps, but his power gives him plenty of upside, and he should continue to see ample playing time for a Detroit team that's 20th in the majors in runs scored.

Lifts off Tuesday Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Yankees.

Impact Riley Greene stole the show with two home runs Tuesday evening at Yankee Stadium, but Torkelson still managed to extend his strong recent stretch of play. Over his last 10 games, the Detroit first baseman is batting .324 with two long balls and eight RBI. On the season, Torkelson now has 14 home runs and 37 RBI across 85 contests.

Goes deep off bench Sunday Torkelson went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-5, 10-inning loss to the Astros,

Impact Torkelson started the contest on the bench and didn't enter until the eighth, but he provided a single in his first at-bat, then delivered his 13th home run of the season in the 10th. It was the slugger's first long ball since June 15, and he went just 7-for-37 with 11 strikeouts in between homers. Torkelson remains a boom-or-bust fantasy option who can be frustrating due to his propensity for falling into slumps.

Reaches, scores twice in loss Torkelson went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Yankees.

Impact Torkelson made an impact without going deep as he provided all of Detroit's offense against Ryan Weathers and three New York relievers. The slugging first baseman is still very much a boom-or-bust option who's batting only .203 in 20 games this month and .211 for the season. While it wasn't the case Wednesday, Torkelson often needs to leave the yard to offer fantasy value because he doesn't make consistent contact at the plate.
