Spencer Torkelson News
Detroit Tigers rookie first baseman Spencer Torkelson is getting the day off on Saturday against the Cleveland Guardians. Torkelson was initially scheduled to receive the day off on Friday before the game against the Guardians was postponed due to inclement weather. The former first overall pick in 2020 has had a tough go of it in his first 40 major league games, as he's hitting just .179/.292/.309 with a .601 OPS, four home runs, 11 RBI and nine runs scored in 144 plate appearances. The power is real, but the 22-year-old will continue to have growing pains in his rookie season. Harold Castro is at first base and is hitting fifth on Saturday against Guardians right-hander Shane Bieber.
Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Cleveland Guardians. Torkelson has swung a better bat of late, but he's still hitting just .179/.292/.309 with four home runs, 11 RBI and nine runs scored in his first 40 major league games in his rookie season. The former Arizona State product has plenty of power, but he needs to make more contact to do consistent damage for fantasy managers. Harold Castro is at first base and is batting fifth on Friday against Guardians right-hander Shane Bieber. Castro is sporting a .301 batting average with three home runs, eight RBI and 10 runs scored in 76 plate appearances over 25 games for Detroit.
Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera and first baseman Spencer Torkelson are both sitting out of the lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader on Tuesday against the Oakland Athletics. Austin Meadows will serve as the DH and will hit second, while Harold Castro draws the start at first base and is hitting fifth against A's right-hander Frankie Montas. Fantasy managers should expect both Miggy and Torkelson to return to the starting lineup for the second game of the twin bill against right-hander Adrian Martinez. Cabrera already reached the 3,000-hit milestone this year, but he has only one home run and nine RBI in his first 25 games. Torkelson, meanwhile, is hitting just .160 with three dingers and eight RBI in his first 26 major league contests.
