It's a slight improvement on his .239/.322/.363 slash line and 10 percent walk rate for the season.

Good game in win Torkelson went 2-for-3 with two walks, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's win over the White Sox.

Impact Torkelson and Riley Greene had identical stat lines from the third and fourth spots in the lineup. While Greene seems to be breaking out in his sophomore campaign, Torkelson hasn't seen the same level of success, as he's only batting .242 with a .681 OPS. Both figures are up from last year, however, and the 23-year-old has the talent to keep trending upward through the summer months.

The 23-year-old Torkelson is now 15-for-46 in his last 12 games, with six doubles and a home run in that span. Following a slow start to the season, he's now slashing .238/.290/.367 with three homers, 14 runs scored and 18 RBI through 162 plate appearances.

He's boosted his slash line to .240/.294/.372 with three home runs, 12 runs scored and 16 RBI through 143 plate appearances this year.

The 23-year-old does have three multi-hit efforts over his last five games, but is still slashing just .223/.276/.347 with 16 RBI, 12 runs and an 8:28 BB:K over 134 plate appearances.

Impact The Tigers sputtered on offense in the 3-2 defeat, but Torkelson was still able to contribute. The second year player now has two home runs and a .651 OPS across 17 games. Those aren't great numbers, but they seem to be a small step forward after Torkelson hit eight home runs and posted a .604 OPS across 110 games last season. He should continue to see regular playing time and has the talent to trend upward.

Starting to heat up Torkelson went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals.

Struggling this spring Torkelson has just three hits in 18 Grapefruit League at-bats so far with six strikeouts.

Impact Torkelson is off to a slow start, which is discouraging after he struggled to a .203/.285/.319 slash line across 360 at-bats as a rookie in 2022. The team has suggested that the 23-year-old will serve as the everyday first baseman this season, and he should be given plenty of opportunities to succeed as the former No. 1 overall pick. Fantasy managers should stay patient, as Torkelson has the talent and pedigree to get rolling at any point, though there could still be some rough patches along the way.
