Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson went 3-for-4 with a home run in an 8-3 win over the Reds on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Torkelson is wielding a white-hot bat at the moment, as Sunday's seventh-inning solo shot on Sunday marked his fifth straight game with a home run, tying a Tigers franchise record. He also doubled twice and walked, collecting eight total bases on the afternoon. After an ice-cold start to his season, the 2020 first-overall pick is slashing .236/.364/.472 with five homers and an .836 OPS in 28 games, while his .392 xwOBA remains above his .372 wOBA on the season.

He also doubled and scored an additional run in the contest. After a slow start, Torkelson has raised his slash line to .210/.347/.370 with a 16.3% BB% across 26 games.
Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson hit a walk-off solo home run in a 5-4 win over the Brewers on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Torkelson hit his second home run in as many days after connecting for his first homer of the season in Wednesday's 5-2 win over Milwaukee. The two-time 30-homer infielder is starting to find his power stroke at the plate as he did when he hit 31 homers a season ago.
Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson hit his first home run of the season in a 5-2 win over the Brewers on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
It took some time, but Torkelson's two-run homer in the fourth inning was his first of the season in his 24th game. After recording his second career 30-homer season in 2025, the former No. 1 overall pick has had a slow start to his 2026 campaign, hitting just .189 with a .603 OPS in 24 games this season.
Spencer Torkelson is absent from the starting lineup on Monday as Colt Keith will make the start at first base against the Red Sox in Boston.
Fantasy Impact
Torkelson is off to a dreadful start at the plate as he is slashing .182/.333/.227 in 81 plate appearances this season. After hitting 31 home runs a season ago, Torkelson is still looking for his first of the campaign. It seems to be just a day off for the first baseman in the hopes of getting him on track.
