Torkelson, Greene lead Tigers to second straight win in HoustonSpencer Torkelson and Riley Greene combined for six hits and four runs in the Tigers' 6-3 win over the Astros on Tuesday in Houston.
Matt Manning - Earns tough road winManning (1-0) allowed two runs on six hits across 5.2 innings to earn the win Tuesday against the Astros. He walked two and struck out four.
ImpactPitching at Minute Maid Park against a potent Houston lineup is no small task, but Manning held his own, earning the win in his first start of the year. The righty once again dealt with injuries in 2022, though he showed some promise with a 3.43 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 63 innings. Manning will look to keep moving in the right direction in his next scheduled start on April 11 against the Blue Jays on the road, which looks like another tough matchup.

Riley Greene - Tallies three hits in winGreene went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Astros.
ImpactGreene and Spencer Torkelson went a combined 6-for-8 from the third and fourth spots in the order. The two youngsters have a ton of potential, and if they both heat up at the same time, they should be able to tally impressive counting stats as the key pieces of Detroit's offense. Greene showed some flashes during his MLB debut in 2022, and the outfielder could be ready for a step forward in 2023.

Spencer Torkelson - Goes deep in three-hit gameTorkelson went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Astros.
ImpactTorkelson doubled home a run in the top of the first inning, then blasted a two-run shot in the eighth for his first home run of the season. The 23-year-old had a tough rookie campaign last year, though there's plenty of talent here, so fantasy managers should stick with him, especially following Tuesday's strong performance.

Tarik Skubal - Playing catch for a weekSkubal (elbow) is completing a throwing progression and is playing catch for a week, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
ImpactSkubal is on the 60-day injured list while dealing with a left elbow sprain. The left-hander will be able to throw -- but not off the mound -- for a week, and the Tigers will determine his next step after. It's likely Subal won't be able to pitch for Detroit until the start of summer.
