Torkelson went 3-for-4 with a double, a triple, a home run and three RBI in Friday's 8-7 win over the Pirates.
Torkelson was a single shy of his first career cycle at the MLB level, and his strong effort included his first triple of the year as well as his 26th home run. With two games left in the regular season for Detroit, Torkelson could tie a career high with 159 games played if he appears in both of them. The slugger has proven to be quite dependable this year, and he figures to head into 2027 as a fairly well established source of power who also swings and misses frequently.

Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 9-2 win over the Nationals.
Torkelson continued his strong finish to the season, as he's now batting .305 with five home runs and 11 RBI through 19 September games. The slugger also reached the 25-homer plateau for the second straight year and third time in his MLB career. By this point, it's pretty clear that Torkelson is a boom-or-bust player who can provide plenty of power but is also susceptible to prolonged slumps, as evidenced by his 31.4 percent strikeout rate.

- Fantasy baseball lineup advice for Monday: Can managers trust Shane Baz?
Everything you need to know to set your fantasy baseball lineups for Monday's MLB action.

Torkelson isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.
Torkelson will get a chance to rest his legs Saturday after going 10-for-24 (.417) with two homers, six RBI, five runs and a 7:8 BB:K during his seven-game hitting streak. Colt Keith will pick up a start at first base as a result, putting Riley Greene at the DH spot and Brett Callahan in left field.

Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a three-run home run and two additional runs scored in Tuesday's 10-1 win over the Blue Jays. He also stole a base.
Torkelson struck out in his other two at-bats, which is par for the course for the slugger, but he still managed to do plenty of damage with his bat while recording his first stolen base this year for good measure. The Detroit first baseman extended his hitting streak to four games, and he's driven in at least one run in all of those contests. Torkelson also has two home runs during his brief hot streak, which has pushed him up to 24 long balls for the season. He still strikes out a lot and is a bit all-or-nothing as a hitter, but Torkelson's power potential is undeniable.

Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Rockies.
Making his second straight start, Torkelson delivered his 23rd home run of the season in the fifth inning. The slugging first baseman has seen his playing time trend downward lately, as he appeared off the bench in each of Detroit's previous three games before starting Saturday and Sunday. Torkelson still offers significant power potential when he's in the lineup, but his current role makes him hard to trust for fantasy managers.
