Spencer Torkelson

Spencer Torkelson went 2-for-3 with two doubles and an RBI in the Tigers' 5-2 loss to the Yankees.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the team's defeat, Torkelson's performance was a bright spot as he managed to notch a pair of doubles, contributing his only RBI of the game. This season, Torkelson has struggled to find his stride, maintaining a modest .216 batting average through 32 games. His power numbers are notably absent with zero home runs, and his on-base skills are underwhelming with a low walk rate of 0.079. However, his ability to hit doubles (11 so far) suggests there might still be potential for extra-base hits. Fantasy managers should keep expectations in check, but Torkelson's multi-hit game could be a sign of gradual improvement.
