Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Role undetermined
Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris said Friday that Torkelson's role for 2025 is not yet defined, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
The Tigers have signed Gleyber Torres to play second base and will move Colt Keith to first base, leaving Torkelson without a clear path to playing time against right-handed pitching. He could be used in a short-side platoon with Keith at first base, but the Tigers dangling Torkelson in trade talks might be a likelier scenario. The former top prospect popped 31 home runs in 2023 but put up a .669 OPS in 2024 and spent a chunk of the season in the minors.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Could be out of starting job
Torkelson might be limited to a short-side platoon or reserve role following the Tigers' signing of Gleyber Torres, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Torres is expected to play second base for Detroit, and the feeling seems to be that Colt Keith is likelier to handle first base than third base, which would leave Torkelson without a spot in the lineup at least against right-handed pitching. Torkelson stumbled to a .669 OPS in the 2024 regular season and spent a chunk of the season in the minors. However, the former top prospect cranked 31 homers in 2023 and is still just 25, so he should have some trade value if the Tigers want to go that route.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Hits 10th home run Wednesday
Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, an additional run scored and three total RBI in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Rays.
Torkelson went deep with a runner on in the sixth inning, giving him 10 long balls for the year and helping the Tigers inch closer to a playoff spot. It's been a choppy season for the 25-year-old, and his struggles led to a demotion to Triple-A Toledo in June. It's a step back from the 31 home runs and 94 RBI Torkelson produced in 2023, but he's been better since getting recalled in August, and he'll turn the page even further if he helps lead Detroit on a postseason run for the first time in his career.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Homers in win Sunday
Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Orioles.
Kerry Carpenter went deep twice, and Torkelson tacked on his ninth long ball of the year to give Detroit possession of the last AL wild-card spot for the moment. Torkelson had a sluggish start to the season, but he's been better lately, batting .273 over his last 10 contests with the one home run and four RBI. The 25-year-old should continue to see regular playing time in the final week of the regular season.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Drives in runs Thursday
Torkelson went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and two RBI in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Rockies.
Torkelson dealt with an illness recently, but he appears to be recovered and ready to keep contributing for the Tigers. Since returning to the majors on Aug. 17, the 25-year-old is batting .253 with 13 RBI in 24 games. Torkelson is still bit of a streaky performer, though he's a legitimate power threat when he's locked in. Expect him to continue receiving regular playing time during the final few weeks of the year.
