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.

Blasts 12th home run Monday Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's 9-3 win over the Astros.

Impact Torkelson had a three-true-outcomes night, as he struck out in his other three at-bats outside of his walk and home run. It's a pretty typical stat line for the slugger, who is batting just .210 this season but has gone deep four times in his last nine games to get to 12 long balls overall. While Torkelson can be a streaky player who is prone to slumps, his power keeps him relevant in most fantasy formats.

Goes deep again Friday Torkelson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians.

Impact Torkelson has been finding his power stroke lately, as he's now gone deep in consecutive contests and has three home runs over his last seven games. Overall, the slugging first baseman is up to 11 long balls for the season. Torkelson can't be counted on to make consistent contact at the plate, and strikeouts remain an issue, but his ability to go deep should continue to prop up his fantasy value.

Launches 10th home run Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 11-0 win over the Twins.

Impact It was a pretty typical Torkelson performance, as he struck out in his other three at-bats. The slugger had no home runs through his first 23 games of the season but has now gone deep 10 times in his last 45 contests. Torkelson figures to continue to struggle with making consistent contact, though he seems to be finding his groove from a power perspective.

Hits ninth home run Friday Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 7-3 win over the Mariners.

Impact Torkelson and Kerry Carpenter hit matching two-run home runs to power the Tigers to victory. The slugging first baseman is riding a five-game hitting streak, during which time he's gone 7-for-16 with two homers and five RBI. Torkelson is now up to nine long balls for the season to go along with a .726 OPS, and he seems to be getting back on track in June after mostly struggling through May.

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.
