Spencer Torkelson - Goes deep again Friday Torkelson went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Guardians.
Impact Torkelson went deep for the second straight game and seventh time this month, bringing his season total to 31 home runs. The 24-year-old has established himself as a good source of power in his second MLB campaign, and he's managed to increase his batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage from his 2022 rookie season. Torkelson should continue to trend upward in 2024.
SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Zach McKinstry - Goes deep in loss McKinstry went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to the Guardians.
Impact McKinstry's second inning home run gave him nine this season. His previous career high was seven, which he recorded in 2021, and the utility player came into the year with only 12 career MLB home runs across three seasons. Heading into 2024, McKinstry figures to retain a versatile role where he plays multiple positions, though his fantasy value is limited due to his lack of offensive production.
