Impact A day after collecting his first MLB hit, Torkelson recorded his first MLB home run and first two RBI. The .176 batting average still doesn't look great for the 22-year-old, but it seems like he's settling in after a sluggish start, so a hot streak could be on tap.

Collects first MLB hit Torkelson went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's loss to the Red Sox.

Impact Torkelson can now take a deep breath, as he came into Tuesday's contest 0-for-10 with three walks and seven strikeouts to begin his MLB career. With the first hit now behind him, perhaps the 22-year-old can get going at the plate. The Tigers will likely keep giving Torkelson regular chances in an effort to further his development, and fantasy managers should remain patient because the talent is there.
