Sitting Sunday Torkelson is not in Sunday's lineup against the White Sox.

Three hits in romp Torkelson went 3-for-4 with a walk, two doubles and three runs scored in Monday's 11-0 win over the Orioles.

Impact Torkelson played a big role in an easy Detroit win, and it was the rookie's second three-hit effort this month. It's been a tough debut season overall, though the 23-year-old is batting a solid .280 in September. Torkelson certainly has the pedigree, and he could be in line for a nice 2023 campaign if he carries over any momentum into the offseason.

Optioned to Triple-A Torkelson was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact After initially not being included in Sunday's lineup, Torkelson was demoted to Triple-A. The rookie has spent the entire season to this point in the majors, but since June 20, he's batted .194 with one homer, five RBI and eight runs over 72 at-bats in 22 games. Overall, the first baseman is batting .197 with five homers, 21 RBI and 25 runs over 264 at-bats in 83 contests this year. The demotion may just be temporary until he finds his groove again. Considering that the Tigers are completely out of playoff contention, it doesn't really make sense for Torkelson to be with Toledo for long.

Tallies three hits in win Torkelson went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Royals.

Impact The three-hit effort pushed Torkelson's average to .201, which is a small step forward for the rookie, who's been below the .200 mark most of the season. The 22-year-old has shown flashes of potential amid his struggles, and he should continue to see plenty of playing time, which would make him an interesting fantasy option if he got hot at the plate.

Day off Thursday Torkelson isn't in the lineup Thursday against the White Sox, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Torkelson started in the last three matchups and went 2-for-11 with two runs, an RBI, a walk and five strikeouts. Kody Clemens is taking over at first base and batting eighth Thursday.

JULY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting in matinee Torkelson isn't starting the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

Impact Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's loss to Kansas City, but he'll be out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games. Kody Clemens is taking over at first base and batting seventh.

JULY 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Homers in return to lineup Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Royals.

Impact The Tigers were unable to keep up with the Royals offensively Sunday, but Torkelson put Detroit on the board with his fifth homer of the season in the bottom of the fifth inning. The 22-year-old's bat has been quiet recently, as he's hit just .167 with a homer, a double, three runs and two RBI over his last nine games. However, it's been encouraging to see him play in the last two matchups after being hit in the head by a pitch during Friday's series opener.
