Spencer Torkelson Fantasy Stats

Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson got back on track with 31 home runs and 118 wRC+ across 155 games in the majors last season. Torkelson's offensive contributions fell so much in 2024 that Detroit sent him to Triple-A to get right. However, he bounced back with a full season at the MLB level in 2025, delivering major contributions to the Tigers and his fantasy managers. In addition to the 31 homers and 118 wRC+, he produced a .240/.333/.456 slash line with an 11.1% walk rate and 26.0% strikeout rate. Striking out more than one quarter of the time isn't ideal, but it's a fair trade-off for a player who will hit 30-40 home runs and walk in more than 10% of their plate appearances. Torkelson finds himself at #19 among first basemen in RotoBaller's fantasy rankings for 2026, with an ADP of 186. The rankings place him just behind Willson Contreras, Alec Burleson, and Jonathan Aranda, and just ahead of Kazuma Okamoto, Christian Walker, and Sal Stewart.

Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson (foot) is starting at first base and will hit cleanup for Thursday's deciding Game 3 of the wild-card series against the division-rival Cleveland Guardians and right-hander Slade Cecconi. X-rays came back negative on Torkelson after he fouled a ball off his foot in the Game 2 loss at Progressive Field on Wednesday. The former first-rounder was also hit by a pitch on his hand/wrist, but he's all good and will hit in the heart of the batting order as the Tigers look to vanquish the Guards and advance to the American League Division Series to face the Seattle Mariners. In the first two games of the wild-card series, Tork has one hit in six at-bats with an RBI, a walk, and three strikeouts. The 26-year-old will be looking for a big hit in the winner-take-all game on Thursday, and he'll be a more risky DFS pick while potentially being at less than 100% with his foot.

Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson (foot) was sent for a precautionary X-rays on his right foot after fouling a ball off it in the fourth inning of Game 2 against the Guardians. The X-rays returned negative for any fractures, and manager A.J. Hinch said that he thinks Spencer Torkelson will be good to go for Game 3. In a rough day for Torkelson, he went 0-for-3 with a walk, and he was also hit by a pitch on the hand in the ninth inning. He'll hope for a better and less painful result to Thursday's decisive Game 3, as he and the Tigers look to advance to face the Mariners in the ALDS.

Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson had all the team's offense on Saturday night, going 2-for-4 with a home run while the rest of the lineup combined to go 0-for-23 with four walks. His second-inning solo home run off Logan Allen was the only run in the Tigers' 1-0 win over the Guardians. The Tigers will look to close out a three-game sweep in Cleveland this Sunday against Gavin Williams. Torkelson's homer was No. 20 on the season for the 25-year-old righty, who is still hitting only .238 on the year but has an .853 OPS and has hit safely in nine straight, going 13-for-35 (.371) during that stretch. He's been streaky throughout this season, but he is definitely a mixed-league starter when he's playing as well as he is right now.

Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson has been in an ugly slump, but was able to do some damage with the bat on Thursday. Before this game, Torkelson was 2-for-27 over his last seven games prior to Thursday's contest. He got the scoring started with a solo home run off left-hander Jeffrey Springs in the second inning. He would finish this game 2-for-4 with one home run, one RBI, and two runs scored in the win. The slump has certainly hurt his overall numbers, but Torkelson is still putting up his best season of his career. Fantasy managers should continue to hold him through his mid-season slump.

Detroit Tigers first baseman/designated hitter Spencer Torkelson and shortstop/outfielder Javier Baez are both out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the visiting Athletics. Colt Keith is at first base and is batting leadoff, while Trey Sweeney starts at the 6 and is hitting ninth against A's right-hander Luis Severino. Torkelson has had a strong 2025 season with 16 home runs and 49 RBI in 264 at-bats, but he's now been absent for two of the last three games and is in the midst of a 4-for-32 slump at the plate in his last nine games to lower his season slash line to .223/.330/.470. In more of a part-time utility role for Baez in 2025, he has come back from the dead to hit .290/.328/.473 with an .801 OPS, nine homers, 36 RBI and 37 runs scored for the first-place Tigers. Neither Keith nor Sweeney have faced Severino in their careers.

Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson continued to hit for high-end power in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Orioles. Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and two strikeouts. The 25-year-old turned on a fifth-inning Cade Povich fastball, getting it just over Colton Cowser's glove in straight-away center. The former top fantasy prospect is now providing the power fantasy managers had dreamed of, slashing .237/.341/.509 with 16 HR and 47 RBI in 273 plate appearances. He should continue to be a solid fantasy option while hitting in one of baseball's most surprisingly productive offenses.

Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson came up clutch for his team during Friday's game against the Chicago Cubs. It was a low scoring affair with a 1-1 tie heading into the bottom of the sixth inning. Torkelson changed that quickly with a go-ahead solo home run off right-hander Ben Brown. It was his 15th home run of the season as Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a single, homer, and one RBI in the win. His stats have taken a dip lately, but Torkelson is still worth rostering in most fantasy formats.

Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Torkelson will get a rest day here after registering only two hits over his last three games. The right-handed slugger has lost some steam after coming out of the gate hot to begin the season. Despite that, Torkelson still has good value because of his pop with the bat. Torkelson has 14 homers and 42 RBI, which makes him worth rostering in most fantasy formats. In his absence, Colt Keith will cover first base and sixth versus right-hander Jonathan Cannon on Monday.

Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, and one run scored on Friday in the 7-5 win over the Royals. The former first-overall draft pick continues to enjoy a resurgence at the plate after a disappointing 2024, now with 14 home runs and 42 RBI on the year. The 25-year-old is hitting .242, which is just below league average, but with a 12.7 percent walk rate, he's been able to record a solid .352 OBP with a .374 and a 145 wRC+. The right-handed slugger even dropped his strikeout rate to 21.9 percent in the month of May, which is slightly better than league average. Hopefully he can continue to produce for the rest of the season, but after going undrafted in most fantasy leagues before the season began, he's already far outperformed expectations.
